According to a report by Team K92, despite the vast operational area, the loss of many burial sites due to socio-economic development, and prolonged hot weather that complicated field operations, the unit successfully carried out its mission with strong determination and the active support of the Kampot Provincial Special Task Committee, local authorities, armed forces, and residents. During the mission, the team surveyed, verified, and excavated 63 locations, moving more than 40,322 cubic meters of soil, and recovered 18 sets of remains. This has brought the total number of remains recovered in Kampot province since 2001 to 1,719.
