Major Nhung received the decision from the State President at a ceremony chaired by Deputy Defence Minister Senior Lieutenant General Hoang Xuan Chien on September 26.
Since Vietnam officially joined UN peacekeeping operations nearly nine years ago, the country has sent 512 officers to the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Abyei and the UN headquarters.
Four rotations of the level-2 field hospital and the engineering unit rotation 1 have been deployed so far.
