Recently, soldiers from a certain unit of the Marine Corps

during training at sea

suddenly heard cries for help nearby

A sailboat driven by 4 local civilians

capsized in the sea due to strong winds and waves

and the people on board fell into the water

being pushed towards the deep sea by the waves

The soldiers immediately reported to the command post

and simultaneously began rescue operations

In the air, drones monitored the situation of the people in the water

At sea, soldiers quickly launched a rescue operation

▲ Soldiers approach the people in the water

▲ Soldiers enter the water to support the people in distress

The 4 people in the water included

1 male sailboat driver

and 3 female tourists

Due to the weight of the sailboat

and the effect of the waves,

the sailboat driver was unable to right the vessel

The tourists, having clung to the capsized hull for a long time,

were clearly exhausted

▲ Soldiers help the people in the water onto the rescue boat

To prevent the people in the water

from choking due to excessive panic,

one rescue team member was the first to enter the water to calm them

and support their bodies

Meanwhile,

the water sports center that rented the sailboat

also dispatched rescue boats

with 3 staff members arriving at the scene

to assist the Navy soldiers in the rescue

Ultimately, all 4 people in the water were successfully rescued

▲ The hotel where the tourists stayed and the staff from the water sports center presented a banner

After the incident, the rescued individuals specifically commissioned their hotel to deliver a banner that read

“Showing courage and responsibility, the bond between the military and civilians is as deep as the ocean”

to the soldiers of the unit

At the same time, the water sports center also visited the training site

to present a letter of thanks and a banner to express their gratitude
