109 officers complete course

JAKARTA (JP): Chief of the City Military Center Regiment Col. Sudrajat closed yesterday a three-month training course for low- ranking officers at the center in East Jakarta.

About 109 soldiers from the city military command, the elite Army special command, the Army strategic command, the Indonesian Armed Forces headquarters and the ministry of defense and security participated in the course.

City Military Command Chief Maj. Gen. Wiranto told the troops to do their best to put into practice in their daily lives what they had learnt during the course in order to show the people that the Armed Forces did not belong to a certain group but to the people as a whole.

"It is important for the troops to be sensitive towards problems faced by people in society to prevent any untoward incidents which occur in the future," Wiranto said. (yns).
