After nearly 3 months of training at the Tay Nguyen Mobile Police Regiment (CSCĐ) - Mobile Police Command (Ministry of Public Security), young soldiers have not only matured in physical strength, regulations, and military style, but have also been equipped with digital skills to protect themselves and their families from high-tech fraud tricks.
Accordingly, in addition to physical training, martial arts, and professional skills, the Central Highlands Mobile Police Regiment also pays special attention to digital skills education through forms of learning and testing of digital transformation applications.
This is considered a practical approach, helping soldiers improve their ability to recognize and handle situations in cyberspace.
During the sessions, soldiers participate in answering multiple-choice questions on the internal system, scanning QR codes to watch video situations and processing simulated situations that are close to reality. The content is built from common scams such as impersonating unit officers calling to request money transfers, sending strange links or impersonating social media accounts to borrow money from relatives.
Not only studying theory, each soldier must also directly present a handling plan to the collective. This approach helps them train confidence, reflexes and coping skills in situations that may occur in life.
Captain Pham Van Don - training manager of the Tay Nguyen Mobile Police Regiment - said that the unit's goal is to help soldiers not only memorize knowledge but also know how to apply it in practice, forming reflexes in the face of real situations.
Soldier Y Than Nie (Dak Lak) still remembers the incident that happened more than a month after enlisting. The soldier's mother received a call from a person claiming to be a unit officer, informing her that her son had an accident in training and requesting urgent transfer of 15 million VND for "surgery".
Thanks to previous propaganda, the family calmly contacted the unit's duty shift to verify and promptly discovered that this was a fraudulent call.
Through that incident, I see that digital skills classes are really necessary, not only for soldiers but also to help protect families from increasingly sophisticated tricks," soldier Y Than Nie shared.
Not only parents, many young soldiers have also become targets of fraudsters. According to unit officials, currently, subjects often take advantage of the image of soldiers wearing military uniforms to create trust and then carry out acts: Online loans; Calling for transfers; Sending malware via strange links.... These contents are all put into actual tests on the unit's digital system.
Leaders of the Tay Nguyen Mobile Police Regiment said that the application of digital transformation in training is not only aimed at modernizing teaching methods but also contributes to building "digital bravery" for young soldiers.
Through online tests, simulated videos and real-life situations, soldiers are equipped with skills to identify bad and toxic information, high-tech fraud and risks in the online environment.
A good soldier today is not only physically strong and professionally skilled, but also must have digital skills, the ability to recognize bad and toxic information, and be brave enough to face increasingly sophisticated scams.
Digital transformation tests, collective interviews, or realistic simulated situations are helping soldiers become more mature, more confident, and more steadfast in the face of all temptations and tricks from outside society," Lieutenant Colonel Trinh Duc Bich - Deputy Head of the Training Department of the Tay Nguyen Mobile Police Regiment - emphasized.
In the Central Highlands training ground, today's young soldiers are not only trained in will and discipline but also equipped with luggage to become responsible, alert and brave citizens in modern life.
