【브레이크뉴스 포항】박영재 기자=해안경계 임무를 수행하던 장병들이 물에 빠진 시민을 구조하는데 크게 기여하여 소중한 국민의 생명을 구한 미담이 알려져 훈훈한 감동을 주고 있다.
이들은 지난 7월 20일 12시 55분경, 열상감시장비(TOD, Thermal ObservationDevice)를 이용해 해안을 감시하는 임무를 수행하던 중 영덕 인근 해안에서 익수자가 바다에 엎드린 채 점점 먼 바다로 떠내려가는 것을 발견했다.
익수자를 처음 발견한 인원은 임우석 일병으로 의아함을 느껴 TOD로 유심히 살펴보던 중 익수자의 움직임이 없는 것을 확인하고 위급상황임을 직감, 당시 함께 상황근무 중이던 차상훈 상사와 장연성 하사에게 보고했다.
보고를 받은 두 간부는 떠내려가는 익수자의 정확한 위치를 좌표로 확인하고 신속하게 영덕 해경에 신고하였고, 연안구조정을 타고 출동한 해경과 계속 연락하며 떠내려가는 익수자의 위치를 실시간으로 공유함으로써 해경이 어려움 없이 익수자와 접촉하는 데 큰 도움을 주었다.
익수자는 구조 당시 의식이 없던 상태였으나 해경들의 신속한 심폐소생술 등 응급조치로 의식을 되찾은 것으로 알려졌으며, 해경 측은장병들의 신속한 신고와 위치 공유가 없었다면 자칫 위험한 상황이 발생할 수도 있었다고 고마움을 전했다.
임우석 일병은 “익수자가 무사히 구조되어 정말 다행이고 요즘 해수욕장 개장 기간이라 더욱 세밀하게 해안감시 임무를 수행했기 때문에 익수자를 발견할 수 있었던 것 같다”며, “앞으로도 국민의 생명을 지키는 군인으로서 내가 맡은 임무에 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다.

Soldiers of the 50th Division's Sea Dragon Brigade save people's lives during coastal security operations.
Soldiers performing coastal guard duties were instrumental in rescuing citizens who had fallen into the water.
The story of how someone contributed to saving the lives of precious citizens is known, giving a warm feeling.
The main characters of the story are Sergeant Cha Sang-hoon, an operational support non-commissioned officer serving in the 50th Division's Haeryong Brigade, TOD Vice Team Leader Sergeant Jang Yeon-seong, and TOD operator Private First Class Lim Woo-seok. The story became known to the entire unit through contact from the Uljin Coast Guard.
At around 12:55 on July 20, while performing a mission to monitor the coast using a thermal observation device (TOD), they discovered a drowning person lying face down in the sea on the coast near Yeongdeok, gradually drifting further out to sea. .
The first person to discover the drowned person was Private Lim Woo-seok. He felt suspicious and looked closely at the TOD. After seeing that the drowned person was not moving, he had a hunch that it was an emergency situation and reported it to Sergeant Cha Sang-hoon and Sergeant Jang Yeon-seong who were on emergency duty at the time.
The two executives who received the report confirmed the exact location of the drifting victim with coordinates and quickly reported it to the Yeongdeok Coast Guard. They continued to contact the Coast Guard, which was dispatched in a coastal rescue boat, and shared the location of the drifting victim in real time, allowing the Coast Guard to avoid any difficulties. It was of great help in contacting the drowned person.
The drowning man was unconscious at the time of rescue, but it is known that he regained consciousness thanks to the Coast Guard's prompt CPR and other emergency measures, and the Coast Guard expressed their gratitude that without the prompt reporting and location sharing by the Coast Guard soldiers, a dangerous situation could have occurred.
Private First Class Lim Woo-seok said, “I am very fortunate that the drowning man was rescued safely. I think we were able to find the drowning man because we performed a more detailed coastal surveillance mission these days as the beach is open.” He added, “It is my duty as a soldier to protect the lives of the people.” “I will do my best,” he said. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스 대구경북 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
