KAMPOT, CAMBODIA, Mar. 14 (ChinaMil) -- The opening ceremony of China-Cambodia joint military training Golden Dragon - 2019 kicked off at the Shooting Range Training Field for the 70th Infantry Brigade of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) in Kampot Province’s Chum Kiri district, Cambodia on March 13, 2019.
General Vong Pisen, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), and Major General Feng Xiang, deputy chief of staff of the army under the Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command attended the ceremony, joined by 716 participants from both sides.
In his speech, Gen. Vong Pisen said that Cambodia and China are comprehensive strategic partners. The Golden Dragon serial joint exercises will help two militaries to improve their capacities, deepen cooperation and inherit friendship, and will certainly contribute to the peaceful development of the two countries and regional peace and stability.
Maj. Gen. Feng Xiang said that the Golden Dragon joint exercise is a brand of the bilateral military cooperation. The Chinese and Cambodian militaries will constantly enrich the content and expand the scope of the joint training, and jointly improve the level of exchanges and cooperation between both sides.
Li Ningya, military attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, said that it is the third time for both armed forces to launch joint training and it serves as a concrete measure to implement the consensus reached by the high-level leaders of the two sides on strengthening pragmatic cooperation. Compared with the previous two exercises, “the size of the participating forces is grander, the joint operations are more prominent, the weapons and equipment are more diversified, and the training content is much richer,” he added.
Under the theme of joint anti-terrorism training and humanitarian rescue and aiming at promoting the two militaries’ abilities in counter-terrorism training and deepening the traditional friendship between the two militaries, the joint exercise will last until March 27.
Chinese participants mainly come from the army under the PLA Southern Theater Command and the PLA 74th Group Army. In total, there are 252 members from multiple military branches, including special operations troops, army aviation troops, engineer forces, artillery forces, and armored forces.

Confirmed, the new PLAAF airborne brigade has an organic chopper regiment
Helicopter Regiment, 130th Air-Assault Brigade, 15th Airborne
12 months after the last great PLA orbat reform, CCTV airs its first
report on PLAAF's assault brigade thus confirming its existence.

The CMC decommissioned three divisional headquarters (43rd, 44th and
45th) on April 19th, their regiments are now reformed into 6 brigades
(127th, 128th, 130th, 131st, 133rd, and 134th) directly under the corps
headquarters . Additionally, there will be a new SpOps Brigade , a
Strategic Support Brigade (Engineering, Communication, etc) and an
Aviation Brigade(Fixed And Rotary Wing Aircraft) bringing to a total of 9
line brigades.
The 15th ABC's organic helicopter regiment was first revealed during the
2008 Sichuan earthquake rescue work and then by a high profile fly-by
during the 60th national day celebration.
It is now time for the 15th to test its newly found air mobility assault capability in a large military exercise. The advantage of air mobile assault over airdrop are many: ranging from entire unit delivery in one place--which immediately allows combat-readiness, precision resupply landings, to on-station fire support from helicopter gunships. In time, it will be interesting to see if a small portion of the 15th ABC will be converted into air-cavalry to enhance the corps' mission profile.
