PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Medical personnel from the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and the US Marine Corps have concluded their latest medical exercises, according to a Marine Corps statement.
The statement issued Thursday said the exercises involved a medical battalion from the Third Marine Expeditionary Force based in Okinawa in Japan.
Subjects covered included emergency and operation room observations and medical record-keeping seminars.
"During the exercise, RCAF and US personnel worked side-by-side to develop a better understanding of how the other’s service works," the statement said.
Cambodian Brig. Gen. Keo Dayuth said the training "provides knowledge and experience to our armed forces ... The training is short, but we gain a lot and it is very important.”
He said the exercise was effective, valuable and informative. "We would like to spread our (gratitude) to all instructors for providing and sharing their medical knowledge and experience," he said. "We look forward to the next time we can work together."
The medical exercises have been held since 2007.http://www.thecambodiaherald.com/cam...lkMTI3MjIyMDU2
