Description
Two unidentified soldiers of the Indonesian Contingent to the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) on guard duty at a booth outside 'Pteah Australii', the Phnom Penh headquarters of the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) contingent to UNTAC. Dressed in disruptive pattern camouflage and wearing their basic webbing, both are armed with Belgian made 5.56 mm FN-FNC rifles. Behind them is a heavily sandbagged position, probably designed as a machine gun post. The Indonesian and Ghanaian Contingents were both deployed in a security capacity to the Phnom Penh Special Zone (PPSZ) for the duration of the electoral period, from October 1992 onwards.
