Just like any other elite unit in the
world, the Indonesian elite forces personnels are selected from the best soldiers in Indonesian armed forces. As elite modern
combat units, they operate in small groups and in covert missions.
It is undeniable that there have been accusations and court-rulings regarding the violations of human rights in the operations of these elite units. An open apology from one Indonesian president confirmed these facts. However, it is
also undeniable the importance of their strategic existences to protect the nations sovereignty, especially in the war against
terrorism era.
The primary reason of developing this website is the great pride as an Indonesian citizen to have such skilled
and modern elite forces comparable to those well-known elite forces from other countries. The human rights violations linked to these units in the past or present are not parts of this reason.
The pride is based on admiration and respect to the individuals in these Indonesian elite units who is very
discipline, skilled, loyal, intelligent, spiritful, and, most importantly, innocent from any human rights violations
for the security of the nation and the people of Indonesia.
There is no human right violation that can be tolerated. However, the acknowledgment for the personnels of these elite units who are clean
cannot be denied. This website is a small part of that acknowledgment.
