217 army officers promoted


Reported by Khmerization

217 army officers from Division 3 based on the border frontlines in Preah Vihear had been promoted in a promotion ceremony held on 21st April 2009, reports everyday.com.

In a ceremony presiding over by Gen. Kun Kim (pictured), Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, 13 army officers had been promoted to colonels, 46 had been promoted to the ranks of lieutenant-colonels, 61 promoted to majors, 87 promoted to captains, 76 promoted to first lieutenants and 54 army officers had been promoted to second lieutenants.

Gen. Kun Kim said in the ceremony that these promotions are in response to the competence and the successes achieved by these officers for their roles in the defence of the Cambodian nation.

He said Division 3 is an army unit directly attached to the Command Headquarter and is an army division that the government trusted the most.

I don't see any reasons for the promotions of too many officers from only on division. It sounds like everybody in division 3 is a colonel, major or captains. It sounds so ridiculous!

The successes they talked about is the successes against the Thais in recent fighting? Why boast so much. It is not a war, it is just a skirmishes and the Thais didn't lose any territories either. The promotions is a waste of public money because the promoted soldiers be will receiving officers' and seniors officers' salary.
