Cambodia is reinforcing its border with Thailand, establishing new villages full of soldiers, building roads and buying new equipment.
The strengthened military presence is part of an ongoing dispute over land surrounding the Preah Vihear temple on the Cambodia-Thailand border.
The 12th century temple has been the site of numerous violent clashes between the two countries in recent years.
Cambodia's Ministry of Defence made the announcement and said the program was necessary for national protection.
