Tangerang battalion marks anniversary

TANGERANG (JP): The Tangerang-based Arya Kemuning/203 Infantry
Battalion distributed 1,500 packages of essential goods to needy
residents and Islamic boarding schools here to mark its 44th
anniversary on Saturday.

Deputy chief of the battalion, Maj. Wahyu Sugandi, said after
attending the company's anniversary ceremony that each of the aid
packages contained rice, cooking oil and sugar.

"The recipients included hundreds of Jatiuwung residents and
five Islamic boarding schools located in Tigaraksa, Balaraja and
Pasar Kemis," Wahyu said.

During the anniversary ceremony on Saturday, Col. Jul Effendi
Sjarief, the Commander of the 1st Greater Jakarta Area Infantry
Brigade, praised the battalion for it's role in maintaining
security in the city.

But Effendi reminded the battalion's personnel not to rest on
their laurels and be satiated by the praise.

"If we do that, we'll become reckless and careless. We must
remain prepared for challenging and complex missions in the
future," he said.

The Arya Kemuning/203 Infantry Battalion is under the command
of the 1st Greater Jakarta Area Infantry Brigade. (41/25)
