New battalion commander

JAKARTA (JP): City Military chief Maj. Gen. Wiranto installed
Maj. Hari Krisnomo as the new commander of the Bekasi-based Field
Artillery Battalion 7/105 on Thursday.

Hari Krisnomo, previously chief of staff of the Kerawang
Military District in West Java, replaced Lt. Col. Yayat Hidayat,
who has been promoted to chief of the Bekasi Military District.

Wiranto said in his speech that quality improvement of a
battalion should be realized through the development of both
personnel and equipment. A favorable environment helps soldiers
carry out their duties in guarding the city, he added.

He demanded that the battalion anticipate and be prepared to
face any security disturbances.

To back up the City Military Command, troops of the artillery
battalion should be professional and skillful in using weapons in
any field, the general said. (29)
