Military subcommands

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen. Sutiyoso unveiled a plan yesterday to set up two military subcommands which would oversee the seven military districts in the city, Bekasi and Tangerang.

Sutiyoso said the establishment of the two military subcommands was designed to increase efficiency and cooperation among military bases in Greater Jakarta.

"The subcommands would coordinate the seven military districts, which currently report directly to the Jakarta Military Command," Sutiyoso said but gave no details on when the plan would be implemented.

The seven military districts consist of five in Jakarta and one each in Bekasi and Tangerang. (jun)
