The United States and Cambodia will participate in the joint military exercise, Angkor Sentinel, on March 13-22 in Kampot and Kampong Speu provinces, aiming at cementing the two countries' military ties, according to a press release from the U.S. Embassy on Monday.

Angkor Sentinel 2012 is a major bilateral exercise that continues a substantial, multi-year effort by U.S. Army Pacific and U.S. Pacific Command to actively engage with Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and expand peacekeeping and stability operations capabilities, said the press release.

Approximately 100 members of U.S. Army Pacific will join Royal Cambodian Armed Forces in focusing on peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance operations, including a battalion exercise, a counter-improvised explosives devices field exercise, medical civic actions projects to treat underserved rural inhabitants, and battlefield medical activities, it added.


Angkor Sentinel is an annual bilateral exercise sponsored by U.S. Army Pacific and hosted by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

It is the latest in a continuing series of rigorous, multi- faceted exercises designed to promote regional peace and security, it said, adding that the exercise marks the third anniversary of this significant and highly productive regional military exercise.

The CPP and all the opposition parties should agree and work together for the national interest.
Agree with your critical posting, by calling the Hun Sen's personal bodyguards, because he is the prime minister of our country. Tomorrow it could be not just a personal's bodyguards, but the whole Khmer people.
Building trust and security for the society and country are our responsibility for the next generation of Khmer people.

Leader must follow the people,but
not lead the people.He must obey
the rules of laws;the citizens
follow him.That what the leaser is!
Cambodia is a communist state;
it is not a democratic country.
Hun Sen is using his power to crush
Khmer people.
Can he let Khmer citizens to bear
guns?
They hate him like SHIT.
