It is a peacekeeping troop capable of performing diversified tasks

Compared with the engineering, transportation and medical peacekeeping troops, the infantry battalion takes on more diversified tasks including protection, escort, reinforcement, patrol and guard.

According to the requirements of the United Nations, the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion should have the ability to perform urgent tasks, or to establish temporary operation bases outside Juba, capital of South Sudan, and perform tasks independently.

Although it has sent troops with strong combat capability to participate in the UN peacekeeping missions, China will not be involved in any conflicts among armed factions, nor will it intervene in the internal affairs of other countries in the form of armed intervention.

It is a well-equipped peacekeeping troop

Compared with the equipment carried by the first Chinese peacekeeping engineering detachment to Cambodia in 1992, the equipment for the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion this time has been greatly improved.

The infantry battalion is equipped with weapons and equipment such as wheeled infantry combat vehicles, armored troop carrier, antitank rocket projectiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, mortars and heavy machine guns.

Of the 108 sets of individual equipment, the protective equipment is especially worth mentioning, because it not only protects important positions such as the heart, but also protects the crotch and neck. It is substantially superior to the "vests" used by other Chinese peacekeeping forces in terms of protective area or protective ability.

With 100% of its equipment made in China, the Chinese peacekeeping infantry battalion inherits the tradition that "equipment for Chinese peacekeepers should be home-made".
