Vietnamese Police Force Competes in Regional Military and Martial Arts Games
The Region III Police Military, Martial Arts, and Sports Competition concluded its latest series of events in Lam Dong, featuring high-stakes marksmanship and combat demonstrations. Representing units from 17 provinces and cities, officers competed in sniper rifle, pistol, and submachine gun disciplines to determine regional standings. The event, overseen by the Ministry of Public Security, serves as a qualifier for broader tactical and athletic excellence within the force.
Marksmanship Results and Team Rankings
In the 120-meter sniper rifle team competition, the police force of Tay Ninh secured the first-place position. Competition was notably tight, with four units—Dak Lak, Tay Ninh, Vinh Long, and Quang Ngai—all hitting 35 points before the jury applied supplementary criteria to finalize the rankings. Vinh Long and Dak Lak claimed second place, while the teams from Quang Ngai, Ca Mau, and Can Tho tied for third.
The Gia Lai Provincial Police dominated the combined weapons categories. They earned first place in both the pistol-AK submachine gun competition and the pistol-MP5 submachine gun competition. In the MP5 event, the Lam Dong Provincial Police and the Ho Chi Minh City Police shared second place.
The 120-meter sniper rifle event required each participating police unit to send exactly two representatives—one man and one woman—to compete as a team.
Individual Athletic Achievements
Individual honors were awarded based on precision in submachine gun operations. In the AK submachine gun category, Vu Duy Khanh of the Gia Lai team earned the gold medal. Pham Anh Tuan from Dak Lak took silver, and Doan Thanh Khoi, also from Gia Lai, claimed bronze.
In the MP5 submachine gun category, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Han of the Vinh Long police won the gold medal. The silver medal went to Le Nguyen Ngoc Han from the T04 team, while Pham Tran Ngoc Tram representing Lam Dong earned the bronze.
The high degree of parity in the sniper scoring—where four teams reached an identical 35-point threshold—suggests a standardized level of tactical training across these regional units. As these competitions serve as qualifiers, the emphasis on combined arms proficiency indicates a shift toward prioritizing versatility in field operations for the participating agencies.
