Military runs live-fire exercise
31 May 2018
Nearly 2,000 soldiers have participated in a live-ammunition exercise, the Golden Hanuman 2018, over the past two days, using heavy weapons and armoured vehicles in the border region between Kampot, Takeo and Kampong Speu provinces.

Speaking at the closing ceremony on Wednesday, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), General Eth Sarath, who led the military exercise, said a total of 1,948 soldiers took part in ground training from April 24 to May 30.

He said the live-fire exercise was essential to improving skills in the use of rocket-propelled grenades and other heavy artillery, crucial strategic equipment for RCAF. Military officials will review and evaluate the tactics and the soldiers’ performance, he said.

Tea Banh, minister of defence, said his Chinese counterpart, Wei Fenghe, is planning to visit the Kingdom from June16-20 to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
“We agreed to arrange an exhibition on Diamond Island to show our appreciation for the cooperation between Cambodia and China, which has a strong focus on the military,” Tea Banh said.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Defence spokesman Chhum Socheat denied accusations by civil society organisations that the military exercise was held to intimidate voters before the national elections.

Why would you target the upper-middle classes? Is it an old personal feud?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
