The programme takes place for seven days, from July 9 to 15, at Company 2, Battalion 1, Regiment 754 and a number of locations in the province. More than 40 students will learn military rules, how to use guns, movement positions on the battlefield, sports, martial arts, how to overcome obstacles, and first aid skills. In particular, they will visit the special national relic site of Son La Prison, and Tay Bac (Northwest) Square.

The program not only equips students with basic knowledge about national defence and security, but also creates an environment for them to exchange and learn from each other. Thereby, they have an opportunity to do exercise, hone necessary skills and understand more about the history and traditions of the army and the locality.
