Jakarta –
TNI AD mutate the positions of high-ranking officers (pati), including the Danjen Kopassu. Brigadier General Iwan Setiawan will replace Major General Widi Prasetijono. What is the reason?
“Regarding the mutation of the position of pati (high-ranking officer) within the TNI AD, including the Danjen Kopassus, it is true but this is a natural thing because regeneration and career development patterns for Indonesian Army Soldiers are needed,” said the Head of the Army Information Service (Kadispenad) Brigadier General Tatang Subarna in his statement, Tuesday (29/3/2022).
Tatang confirmed that currently there has been no handover of positions. The release regarding this change will be delivered after the handover of the position.
“Related releases will be conveyed after the implementation of the certificate,” he continued.
3 times the position of Danjen Kopassus has changed in 4 months
Brigadier General Iwan is on the list for the third change in the position of Danjen Kopassus in the last four months. In November 2021, the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa replaced Major General Muhammad Hasan with Major General Teguh Muji Angkasa.
The replacement of the Danjen Kopassus is stated in the Decree of the TNI Commander Number Kep/1029/XI/2021. The letter was published on November 17, 2021 or shortly after General Andika Perkasa was inaugurated as Commander of the TNI by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
At that time, Andika said that the replacement of the Danjen Kopassus was the result of the Wanjakti meeting last September, not when he became TNI Commander.
In late January, Major General Teguh Angkasa was replaced by Brigadier General Widi Prasetijono. The replacement of the Danjen Kopassus is stated in the Decree (SK) of the TNI Commander Number Kep/66/I/2022 concerning Dismissal from and Appointments in Positions within the TNI, signed by Andika on Friday, January 21, 2022.
Brigadier General Widi replaces Major General TNI Teguh Angkasa who was appointed Pandam XVII/Cendrawasih. Two months later, Brigadier General Widi was replaced by Brigadier General Iwan Setiawan.
