progresifjaya.co.id, BANDUNG – The Commander of the TNI, Jenderal TNI Agus Subiyanto, was named an Honorary Member of the Rapid Response Force Corps (Korpasgat) of the Indonesian Air Force. The induction took place during a ceremony led by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Marsekal TNI Mohamad Tonny Harjono, at the Korpasgat Headquarters in Bandung, West Java, on Monday, October 26, 2026.

In addition to the TNI Commander, several other high-ranking officials were also inducted as Honorary Members of Korpasgat. They include the Kapolri, Jenderal Pol Suyudi Ario Seto, the Deputy Commander of the TNI, Jenderal TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, the Chief of Staff of the Army (KSAD), Jenderal TNI Tandyo Budi Revita, and the Chief of Staff of the Navy (KSAL), Laksamana TNI Muhammad Ali.

The induction process was marked by the presentation of the Korpasgat beret, the awarding of the Commando Badge, the Combat Free-Fall Badge, and the Anti-Terror/Anti-Hijacking Badge. The ceremony also included the presentation of a Korpasgat commando knife, serving as a symbol of honor for the newly inducted officials.

On this occasion, TNI Commander, Jenderal TNI Agus Subiyanto expressed his pride in the Korpasgat personnel. He also encouraged all soldiers to remain committed to safeguarding the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and to continue enhancing their professionalism in the execution of their duties.

“Defend the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia tirelessly. I am proud of you, Korpasgat soldiers. Continue to train yourselves to become professional soldiers. Commando!” asserted Jenderal TNI Agus.

During the same event, Korpasgat personnel also showcased their special operations capabilities through an Airborne Raid demonstration. The demonstration showcased various operational phases, ranging from infiltration—utilizing wingsuits and free-fall techniques—to the deployment of paramotors, paratrikes, and drone technology in support of military operations.

During the simulation, personnel demonstrated the use of both surveillance and kamikaze (loitering munition) drones, followed by an assault executed with tactical vehicles. The sequence concluded with an exfiltration maneuver using an Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform, facilitated by an NAS-332 Super Puma helicopter.

The induction of the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (Panglima TNI) and several other high-ranking officials as Honorary Members of the Rapid Reaction Force Corps (Korpasgat) serves as both a gesture of honor and a catalyst for strengthening inter-service solidarity and synergy between the TNI and the Polri.

Through this event, Korpasgat highlighted its operational readiness, the proficiency of its personnel, and the integration of technology to support mission execution. It is hoped that this level of professionalism and inter-institutional cooperation will be sustained to bolster national defense and safeguard the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
