Cambodia aims to tighten army discipline and enlistment
Cambodian military leaders move to reform the armed forces by issuing ID cards and formalizing enlistment to create rosters, curb underage and female enlistments, and restore order after a rapid, unofficial expansion from fewer than 35,000 to near 200,000 since March 18, 1970. The shift targets merchant violence against Chinese shopkeepers and aims to curb looting and shelling incidents that closed restaurants and clubs in Phnom Penh.
