68 soldiers of the 1st Army Officer School will represent the Vietnam People's Army in the parade marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War, taking place on Red Square in Moscow, Russia on May 9.
The 80-member delegation from the 1st Army Officer School is scheduled to leave for Russia on April 23. The parade group includes 73 soldiers, including 68 official members and 5 reserve members, along with leaders in charge, training instructors, doctors, interpreters and security guards.
The soldiers participating in the parade are aged 19-30 and 1.8 m or taller. These are officers, lecturers and students with well-proportioned bodies, who can perform command movements quickly, strongly and accurately.
Major General Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy Principal of Army Officer School 1, said that the school has organized forces and actively trained and practiced for the participating forces, aiming to improve the qualifications, command movements, and coordination ability of the forces participating in the parade.
The goal is to demonstrate the discipline, unity and strength of the Vietnam People's Army, as well as the desire to build peaceful, friendly, cooperative and mutually developing relations with international friends.

Russian found some human shields.
Viet Minh (precursors to the Viet Cong) fought the Vichy French and Japanese in that era.
The organizational continuity with the current government of Vietnam is a good deal less
tenuous than current Russia with the USSR.
We have more to offer them than the Russians and Chicoms.. Get it done.
The Vietnamese Communists and Russia fought together against us in Vietnam just as the North Korean Communists and Russia fought against us and the UN forces in Korea and today they fight together in Europe.
Eisenhower was on the podium with Stalin and Soviet marshals for the original victory parade in June 1945.
I guess the Allies, the US and UK, are not sending representatives for Victory Day.
“I guess the Allies, the US and UK, are not sending representatives for Victory Day.”
Having a separate Victory Day was always an insult to the Western Allies. It’s one more instance of ingratitude from the Europeans.
They are sending soldiers 1.8 m tall? If my math is correct, that’s almost 5’ 11”. Just where are they going to find any natural Vietnamese that tall? Those with French, American or Australian genes in them, yes. Natural is doubtful.
Like the highest tariffs?
Why not? Vietnam was their country, not yours.
LOL, Still pushing the Communists, you have always refused to reveal which nation’s military you retired from and served in.
You don’t have to shout. But yes, it was a dirty deal. We all know the history. They did more than just knife Poland in the back.
“”””It’s one more instance of ingratitude from the Europeans.””””
Russia unleashed hell on Europe in the 1930s and much of Europe was not freed from them until their evil empire was brought down in the 1990s, and now they are fighting the largest European war since WWII as they invade another European nation.
You dirty commie.
**Like the highest tariffs?**
The $4 billion Kissinger promised.
