NO.10 Battalion-level peacekeeping troop unit was assigned for the first time
Event playback: A Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion held an oath-taking rally on December 22, 2014 before leaving for South Sudan for a peacekeeping mission. The 700-strong infantry battalion included an infantry squad of 13 female soldiers, the first of its kind assigned by China to carry out peacekeeping tasks overseas.
Reason for listing: Previous Chinese peacekeeping troop units were mainly engineering, transportation, medical service and security guard detachments. This was the first time for China to send an organic infantry battalion for peacekeeping mission in history.
