Supiadin to lead Udayana Military

JAKARTA: Army headquarters has appointed Brig. Gen. Supiadin
Yusus A.S. the current Kalimantan-based Tanjung Pura Military
Command chief of staff, to replace Maj. Gen. Agus Soeyitno as
Udayana Military commander.

Spokesman for the Udayana Military Command Lt. Col. Budi
Lelono told Antara on Monday that Army chief of staff Gen.
Ryamizard Ryacudu would install Supiadin on Oct. 21 as the new
military commander overseeing Bali and Nusa Tenggara.

Supiadin is a 1975 graduate of the Military Academy.

Agus will take over the top post at the Diponegoro Military
Command overseeing Central Java to replace the late Maj. Gen.
Amirul Isnaeni, who died of cancer in early August.

Amirul died at Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore on Aug. 8. The
1975 Army Academy graduate once led the Army's Special Forces
(Kopassus).

Ryamizard told The Jakarta Post over the weekend he had signed
the decree appointing Agus to the new post. -- JP
