reading between the lines this made me laugh. Cambodia can't even support its own Army?
WTF>>

surely there are enough Oknha's that can help :stir:

The Phnom Penh municipal administration has urged businesses, investors and philanthropists to contribute funds, food or other supplies to support members of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) stationed along the border and their families.

Officials from the capital will visit the troops between the last week of September and the first week of October, according to a September 4 announcement.

The delegation will inspect four units – Division 3, Intervention Brigade 9, Battalion 793 of the Border Defence Police, stationed along the border near Preah Vihear temple, and Intervention Brigade 128, assigned to the O’Alay area of the Siem Pang district of Stung Treng province.

“To make this visit a success, and to show strong support for our people on the front line, we encourage donations of any kind,” the statement read.

Well it was either food for the troops or a new Rolls Royce for the general.

But to be fair there is plenty of food in the jungle and they have guns for hunting, if someone would be so kind to donate ammunition that is.

I hear all soldiers and policemen had to forfeit part of their pay prior to the elections to help pay for the spectacle. The grunts really are poor sods.

Cambodian troops grow their own food. It’s a running joke among the Khmer.

They also mend their own clothes and service their weapons. The military supply chain to support deployment is non existent.

Deployed to the border, troops are far from their home base and can’t do these things.

Living off the land, stealing villagers food, raping their women, etc., is also frowned upon.
