The Indonesian Army Special Forces (Kopassus) is currently conducting
a two-week joint training exercise with the Australian Special
Operations Command (SOCOMD) in the Thousand Islands regency, northern
Jakarta.
Members of the special forces from both countries will
take part in exercises on shooting reactions, and marine terrorism
prevention, tempointeraktif.com reported Thursday.
Kopassus
commander Maj. Gen. Lodewijk F. Paulus officially opened the joint
exercise on Tuesday at the Kopassus headquarters in Cijantung, Jakarta.
The
exercise is hoped to bridge the exchange of knowledge between the two
delegations, and improve cooperation between both countries, he said.
“It also aims to improve the forces’ abilities and skills in personal and group fighting techniques and tactics,” he said.
He added that Indonesian and Australian forces had been carrying out joint exercises since 1992.
