Female soldiers steal spotlight during massive military parade rehearsal at Vietnam airbase

Under the scorching April sun, hundreds of female soldiers captured attention with their poise and determination during a large-scale parade rehearsal on Friday in Dong Nai Province, a neighbor of Ho Chi Minh City, a key preparation for the upcoming 50th anniversary of the liberation of southern Vietnam and Reunification Day (April 30).

Out of the 42 military and police units joining the parade rehearsal at Bien Hoa Airbase, female marching contingents stood out, radiating both elegance and discipline.

Their synchronized movements, resolute gazes, and polished uniforms turned the rehearsal field into a stage of patriotism and pride.

The participating female units included representatives from military bands, medical corps, militia, signal officers, peacekeeping forces, special operations police, and traffic police, with each group displaying their unique strength and spirit.

“I’m incredibly proud to take part in this historic parade,” said a female soldier.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. Each step I take is filled with pride. The heat can’t dim our spirit or determination.”
