}
\nThe movement of the Contingent Owned Equipment and its manning personnel was done by road through Uganda to the South Sudan\u2019s capital Juba. <\/p>\n
According to the official statement released by RDF, it is said that the Reconnaissance Company\u2019s main body is expected to be airlifted from Kigali International Airport to Juba on 5 August 2017.<\/p>\n
The deployment follows a United Nations Security Council Resolution number 2304 (2016) adopted on 12 August 2016 that decided the deployment of a Regional Protection Force (RPF) to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to provide a secure environment in and around Juba.<\/p>\n
Following the United Nations\u2019 request, the Government of Rwanda accepted the deployment of a Mechanised Infantry Battalion and the proposal to first send in a Reconnaissance Company as an Advance Party to the near future deployment of the Battalion.<\/p>\n
Rwanda maintains two Infantry battalions in Juba and Malakal and one Aviation Unit serving under UNMISS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
