The Royal Khmer Armed Forces (Forces armées royales khmres, or FARK) was founded on 9 November 1953, under the Franco-Khmer convention. This contributed to the end, of the French colonies as well as protectorates, as well as Cambodia gained its own military organization. The role of FARK is to guarantee the sovereignty, of the nation as well as the king; to ensure security, social order as well as respect for the law, as well as to defend the kingdom of Cambodia. With 50,000 troops, FARK is organized at the battalion level, under the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces (head of state). In the early stages of the nation, its armed forces were often armed, with little more than wooden rifles, to outsmart the aggressive Việt Minh forces. This forced King Norodom Sihanouk, to sign a border-treaty treaty, with Vietnam which did not benefit Cambodia, resulting in the loss of much territory.
