Army's official website launched

JAKARTA: The Army's official website was launched by armed force's chief Gen. Endriartono Sutarto on Wednesday, despite some technical flaws that caused readers some problems.

Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Ismet Hardy said that it had taken the Army Data and Information Management Agency a year to prepare the website in cooperation with international internet host M- Web.

The website can be opened at www.mabesad.mil.id.

An image of an Army Strategic Reserves Command soldier and a soldier in a black suit is shown on the homepage, along with the Army's doctrines, code of ethics, identity, mission and roles.

Repair works are still underway on some inside pages, including an interactive column called Kontak Kami (Our Contact).

The website also offers the latest news on Army affairs and the online version of the Army's internal newsletters Palagan and Yudhagama.

"We will continuously update the news, including that coming from all military commands nationwide," Ismet said. -- JP
