HE’s Bodyguard Unit Marks Seven Years
HE’s Bodyguard Unit Marks Seven Years
by Ben Sokhean | September 5, 2016
Pol Saroeun, commander-in-chief of the military, said his forces were “absolutely loyal” to Prime Minister HE and his family on Sunday at an event marking seven years since Mr. HE’s personal bodyguard unit was formed as a distinct entity from Brigade 70.
Mr. HE’s bodyguard unit has been under the prime minister’s direct control since its creation in 1995, but a directive in September 2009 moved it out of Brigade 70. Its members are among the best trained and equipped units in the armed forces.

At a ceremony at the unit’s headquarters in Kandal province’s Takhmao City to celebrate the occasion, General Saroeun, who Mr. HE made commander-in-chief also in 2009, said the army was “100 percent” committed to protecting the first family.
“The army is absolutely loyal to, and protects, Samdech [Mr. HE] and Samdech [Bun Rany] and their family, 100 percent,” the commander-in-chief said. “Second, we will absolutely prevent a color revolution from happening in Cambodia.”
Top military leaders, most of whom are also senior CPP officials, have long tended to qualify their pledges of loyalty to Mr. HE by saying it was based on his status as the elected prime minister—and not due to personal loyalties.

I wonder if the heads of the Chinese companies that are raping Ream Park attended this get-together? Word is they made large contributions to this organization to be protected from oversight.

Oversight as in the Cambodian court system and their ability to thumb their nose at it. Do the research.

Sure, so completely unlike any other military branches here. Plenty of Bodyguard Unit members as well as other military get charged when they step too far out of line too.

Bit like Wall St and Blackwater, then?

Just like the American Military...ribbons and medals for everything and anything, could never even deploy and end up with a chest full of fruit salad.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Mon Sep 05, 2016 2:59 pm That guy has lots of tours, look at all those ribbons!
