Brigade 70 (B-70)

The Brigade 70 or B-70 is a Cambodian Army responsible for protecting Hun Sen, until he created the Prime Minister's Bodyguard Unit to take over its responsibilities in 2009.

History

Its history is traced back to the Phnom Penh-based Khmer Rouge unit, in charge of detaining and beating anyone to make them confess that they're Khmer Rouge fighters. After the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1991, the unit became known as Regiment 70. They later became known as Brigade 70 in 1993.
