Unit 954, the fourth military engineering unit to be deployed to the African nation, will replace Unit 459 with the job of improving military infrastructure.

Since 2006, Cambodia has sent more than 4,769 troops on UN peacekeeping missions as demining specialists, military medics, military engineers, in construction teams and as observers in eight countries – Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, the Central African Republic, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and Mali.

About 1,000 soldiers are rotated every year. This makes Cambodia the third largest contributor to UN peacekeeping missions in Asean.
