Habibie's ex-adjutant new city garrison chief of staff

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen. Djadja
Suparman installed on Tuesday former president B.J. Habibie's
adjutant Col. Hasanuddin as the new chief of staff of the Jakarta
Garrison.

Hasanuddin replaced Brig. Gen. Albert Inkiriwang, a 1972
graduate of the National Military Academy, in a modest handover
ceremony at the garrison headquarters in Gambir subdistrict,
Central Jakarta.

Inkiriwang, 50, will soon assume a new post as deputy to the
Army chief's assistant for territorial affairs.

In his speech, Djadja stressed the importance of restoring
order and discipline among the city's soldiers.

"Discipline among the soldiers is deteriorating. The newly
appointed garrison commander should therefore put into priority
the enforcement of the law and discipline within its
supervision," he said at the ceremony.

Spokesman to the city military command Lt. Col. D.J. Nachrowi
separately said the garrison had responsibilities which included
promoting the establishment of law and discipline among soldiers.

"The garrison is also responsible for protecting very
important persons of the country, in cooperation with among
others, the city police and the presidential security guard
corps," he said.

The garrison, whose members are from all three Indonesian
Military (TNI) forces -- the Army, the Navy and the Air Force --
as well as the National Police, will also cooperate with the city
military police in upholding law enforcement and discipline among
the soldiers, said Nachrowi.

There are 11 military garrisons throughout the country
attached to their respective 11 military commands. (asa)
