The Royal Thai Armed Forces has approved the use of the Chakrabongse Bhuvanart national defence plan which involves deploying troops of the three armed forces to guard the Thai-Cambodian border from Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi and Trat.
A military source said Songkitti Jaggabatara, the supreme commander, had approved the Chakrabongse Bhuvanart plan as the national defensive strategy for the eastern region.
The source said Thai troops mobilised near the 4.6 square kilometre disputed area around Preah Vihear Temple amounted to about 15,000. This was about the same number of Cambodian troops that have been deployed in the area.
Under the Chakrabongse Bhuvanart plan, the Army’s Burapa Task Force will operate along the border in Sa Kaeo and Prachin Buri provinces. The Suranaree Task Force will cover the lower northeastern provinces with the Phra Viharn 54 Operation Plan.
