Tyasno Sudarto on Tuesday, Endriartono said he would hold<br>\nhis old position as the Army deputy chief pending the completion<br>\nof deliberations on the issue by the Council for<br>\nHigh Ranking Promotions and Duty Rotation (Wanjakti).<\/p>\n<p>Endriartono replaced Tyasno on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<p>It is the first time in Army history that a chief of staff has<br>\nhad to wait for so long for the service of a deputy.<\/p>\n<p>\"The vacancy occurs because for the first time ever a deputy<br>\nchief of staff was promoted to the Army's top post,\" Endriartono<br>\nsaid, ignoring the fact that Gen. Subagyo Hadisiswoyo was named<br>\nthe Army chief of staff in place of Gen. Wiranto in 1998 when he<br>\nwas still the deputy Army chief of staff.<\/p>\n<p>Endriartono insisted that the deputy chief post would be<br>\ncrucial because of its function in the coordination of all the<br>\nArmy's staff members.<\/p>\n<p>Chief of Army Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad) Lt. Gen<br>\nRyamizard Ryacudu has been widely tipped as the strongest<br>\ncontender, thanks in part to approval from President Abdurrahman<br>\nWahid.<\/p>\n<p>Ryamizard was nominated after the President's nomination of<br>\nformer Kostrad chief Lt. Gen. Agus Wirahadikusumah was opposed by<br>\na group of Army senior officers.<\/p>\n<p>Ryamizard, a son-in-law of former vice president Try Sutrisno,<br>\nis a 1973 graduate of the Military Academy. He took over from<br>\nAgus just three months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Another candidate is Lt. Gen. Amir Sembiring, the chief of<br>\nBandung's Military Education &amp; Training Command. He graduated<br>\nfrom the Military Academy in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>Udayana Military Commander Maj. Gen. Kiki Syahnakrie could be<br>\nthe dark horse in the race for the Army's second top post. Kiki,<br>\nwho, like Endriartono, is a 1971 graduate, has reportedly been<br>\nrecommended by Vice President Megawati Soekarnoputri. (02).<\/p>",
