Definition
派兵 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning to dispatch or send troops. The verb 派 takes 兵 as its object, so elements can be inserted between them — for example, 派了兵 (dispatched troops) or 派三千兵 (send three thousand troops). This structure is common in military, strategic, or disaster-relief contexts.
