The exercise includes courses such as joint health command, joint force delivery, joint deployment, and joint on-site rescue. It also includes training content such as batch treatment of wounded, air medical evacuation of critically ill patients, and prevention and control of tropical infectious diseases to enhance the collaborative action capabilities of the two military health service teams.
Major General Ban Sok Weijie, Director of the Secretariat of the Cambodian Royal Army Headquarters, stated that China has sent multiple Air Force Y-20 large transport planes to participate in the exercise, which is unprecedented in Cambodian history. We are very proud of this. I hope that through joint exercises in the coming days, the two sides can exchange experiences in the field of healthcare. I firmly believe that this exercise will further enhance the medical rescue and response capabilities of the Cambodian royal army to various unexpected disasters. This is also a concrete practice of our two armies practicing the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Cambodia.
The relevant person in charge of the Health Bureau of the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission introduced that this event is the first joint exercise activity in the history of the medical service teams of the Chinese and Cambodian armies, and it is also the first time that our military's air transport medical forces have participated in all elements of outbound exercises.
