The Brigade 70 or B-70 is an elite unit of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.
History[edit]
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.[1] After the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1991, the unit became known as Regiment 70.[1] They later became known as Brigade 70 in 1993.[1]
