KOPASSUS

History of Special Forces
The history of the birth of Special Forces Command as the unit can not be separated from the historic series in the life of the nation of Indonesia, in July 1950, arising from the rebellion in the Moluccas by kelopok calling itself the RMS (Republic of South Moluccas). Chairman of the Armed Forces of Indonesia when it immediately deploy troops to quell gangs. The operation was led by the Commander of the army Colonel AE III Kawilarang territory, while the surgery was designated as commander Lt. Col. Slamet Riyadi.

This operation was successfully crushed the rebellion movement, but with no small sacrifice on the part of the TNI. Having studied was in some battles, the enemy with a relatively smaller forces are often able to thwart military attacks whose strength is much greater. This was not only due to the spirit of the enemy forces a higher or more complete equipment, but also tactics and combat experience that supported both the right and ability to shoot individual movements.
The incident is what ultimately inspired Lt. Col. Slamet Riyadi to spearhead the establishment of a set of bat that can be moved quickly and precisely to deal with various targets in the field of weight however. After the death of Lieutenant Colonel slamet Riyad on one battle AE Kawilarang.
Through the Army and Territorial Commander Instruction No. III. 55 / Inst / PDS / 52 dated 16 April 1952 formed the territory COMMAND INCLUSION III which is the origin of "Red Beret corps." As the first commander entrusted to Major Mochamad Idjon Djanbi, a former captain who had joined the Colonial Army Corps Special Troopen and had fought in World War II.

 
In the course of this unit further amended several times, including the name of Unity of Command of the Army (RPKAD) in 1953, Regiment of the Army Forces Command) in 1952, then in 1955 became the Army Para Commando Regiment (RPKAD). In 1966 this unit again changed its name to Center for Army Special Forces (TNI PUSPASSUS AD), later in 1971 changed its name this unit became Sandi Yudha Forces Command (Special Forces). In 1985 this unit was renamed the Special Forces Command (Kopassus) until now.
After several changes in the organization, according to the TNI chief Letter Number: B/563-08/05/06 / SRU dated March 23, 2001, the organizational structure of Kopassus currently consists of:
- Makopassus, based in Cijantung with the slogan of Pataka "Satya CHANDRACA Tribuana DHARMA".
    
- Group-1 / Parako, based in Serang with the slogan Dhuaja "EKA Wastu BALADIKA".
- Group-2 / Parako, based in Solo with Dhuaja slogan "DHARMA Birawa yudha DWI."
- Grup-3/Sandha, based in Cijantung with Dhuaja slogan of "Chess KOTTAMAN WIRA NARACA BYUHA".
- Pusdikpassus, based in Batujajar with Sempana slogan "TRI Yudha SAKTI".
- Satuan-81/Gultor domiciled in Cijantung with the slogan Dhuaja "READY TO DARE FAITHFUL."



Kopassus become the world's best army? I think it is not impossible, according to discovery channel, in order of the world's best troops, which the measure is not with weapons but the ability is measured by the ability of the individual troops.

1. SAS (UK)

2. IDF (Israel)

3. Kopassus (Indonesia)

Then where Americans? American did not enter the top 3 areas because they have sophisticated technology so that his troops did not have good personal skills.

Kopassus we should be proud of it, because quite a lot of achievements that they carved in RI sejarang pride, call it the conquest of Mount Everest in 1997, Indonesia became the first tropical country that conquered the world's highest peak d, through kopassus Indonesia also became the first country in Southeast Asia d defeated him.

Once, when an 80-year, while OPM papua Indonesia so incessant attacks, the Army learned that PNG, our neighboring country of Papua fit in there as a supplier of weapons, but when the confirmation by the TNI, PNG does not admit it.

So that when it, under the command of Prabowo d, Kopassus nominated for entry into the country as far as 50 KM PNG, they d use a helicopter and transport derived d near the border, and then middle of the night they boarded a rubber boat and there was one member who was seriously injured kopassus while maintaining the boat the brunt of the waves.

Kopassus had gone to the point that has d As with suspected weapons storage, the result was nil, they dipatah spirit then, they d stay there for two days and two nights. until then there were two white-skinned Caucasians passed their hiding area, and they were arrested and interrogated last Caucasians.

that know that they were Australian citizens who carry guns, heli kopassus go to them and could not wait for the supply of weapons that arrived, two Caucasians were brought to Indonesia d then d extradition, since that Australia did not dare again macam2 with Indonesia.

Remember also the case of Garuda Indonesia aircraft hijacking bangkok d? kopasus who also completed hijacking their way with no passengers were injured, but while there was one who died members kopassus. On their achievements, the 30 members were given kopassus extraordinary promotion.

Kopassus military operations
1. Special Combat Operations unit PARAKO: such operations are usually conducted concurrently with combat operations open by regular troops. Examples of Operations in Aceh. Kopassus task usually "just" chasing the central figure of GAM. Operation Lotus in the team or teams.2. Intelligence Operations for Sandhi Yudha Unit: This operation could be in 3 space battles (battles conventional, conventional and un anti-terror) at the same time without the "engaged in combat" itself. Because this operation is the collection of data for internal purposes, gathering data for his troops, raising the mass, and the terror operation. This operation usually DIRECT impact will be felt by those who are targeted. Now the question what difference does it make Sandhi yudha seh Kopassus with BIN in creating a desirable situation to facilitate the interests of the unit? The difference is that BIN work focused in particular bidang2 which is a requirement for the implementation of the state's interest in a particular field. BIN is an intelligence agency which "tends to" lead to problems of civil issues. This needs a long description because if you are wrong then the thought would clash with the National Police Intelligence. The difference with the police is a police report a problem with his duty to the Parliament but on the contrary BIN No! Why ?..... BIN handle kasus2 Bung OFF THE RECORD! Kasus2 are NOT KNOWN by the community. BIN network down is "agen2 civilian" who was starting his career in the BIN (such as the CIA) as well as a former member of military special forces. BIN's not community service agencies such as POLICE ......
Likewise with KOPASSUS .... they do not need to report any form of activities to the House of Representatives because the chain of command of Kopassus is responsible to the Commander of the TNI. State guarantee any form of activity in the interest of the country KOPASSUS during extreme se .... whatever that Kopassus soldiers will be protected with a model statement of "mission is not known "...... one more ........ very difficult to fire state sandhi yudha qualified soldiers in Kopassus because one of them was the holder of state data important data. Kopassus operations performed is inclined towards military purposes but flexible. Krn usually they also asked for assistance by the NIA to implement certain intelligence operations.
3. Terror Special Forces Operations Management is the main aid if Gegana Police Detachment or DEN 88 have difficulty facing the terrorists who took hostages.
I am more inclined to express operasi2 "off the record" that never made Kopassus, among others:
1. Operation tri kora that "juggling" the forces Kopassus frog.2. Discomfiture operation smuggling weapons to the OPM in Papua3. Joint operations and KOPASSUS KOPASKA on the northern border of Indonesia-Philippines th 19974. Joint combat detachment surgery chakra ton tai kam - ton tai pur in Aceh5. Combat Intelligence Operations Seroja 1972 s / d 1989 Tim Tim6. Natuna Operation (off the record because the Marine Special Forces versus the Malaysian and Thai Navy SEALs)Year 19958. Car Combat Air Operations with Raider Battalion 401 on the border of East Malaysia quell PARAKU9. Amphibious Reconnaissance joint military operations in Biak, 1986, which involved Kopassus, also taifib kopaska and reconnaissance elements of combat intelligence detachment KOSTRAD (before the ton tai pur standing).10. Anti-terror operations (marine aspect) conducted in secret by a transport ride is designed so inviting pirates in the Java Sea (Kepmendagri Karimun Java) th 1993
