The 4th/GS and 7th/GS most likely Nexter Caesar but it doesn't give any hint about 2 battalions of Kh-179 155mm.
Or is it on Men 2 and Men 1 Kostrad?

TNI appoints new chief of general staff
Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Mon, February 16 2015, 5:59 PM
Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko on Monday appointed Air Marshal Dede Rusamsi as the new chief of general staff (KASUM), replacing Air Chief Marshal Agus Supriyatna.
Prior to his appointment, Dede was the National Resilience Institute (Lemhanas) deputy governor.
Moeldoko said KASUM was responsible for coordinating and communicating the TNI commander’s policies on the development of weaponry systems in its military divisions, comprising the Navy, Army and Air Force, to lower-ranking officers.
In the space of three months, the KASUM position has been occupied by three officials: Vice Admiral Ade Supandi -- who is now the navy chief of staff (KASAL)-- , Vice Marshal Agus Supriyatna, who is now the Air Force chief of staff (KASAU), and Dede. (++++)

Jakarta hints at interest in CH-47F
By: GREG WALDRONSINGAPORE
Source: Flightglobal.com 12 hours ago
Jakarta and Boeing have held discussions in regard to the company’s CH-47F Chinook transport helicopter.
In a brief statement on its web site, the Indonesian defence ministry said that Boeing is exploring “Chinook cooperation with Indonesia.”
The statement includes a photo of a Boeing executive handing a model Chinook to Indonesian defence minister Ryamizard Ryacudu.
Flightglobal sought comment from Boeing on the matter, but had received no response at the time of this story’s publication.
The Indonesian press release follows a US Department of Defence statement in late January that Boeing was formerly awarded a Foreign Military Sales contract for eight AH-64E attack helicopters, finalising a deal originally announced by former defence secretary Chuck Hagel in 2013.
Jakarta does not operate the Chinook, but in 2005 expressed interest in possibly obtaining four examples to bolster its disaster relief capabilities. CH-47Ds operated by Singapore were active in disaster relief operations following the 26 December 2004 tsunami, which laid waste to coastal regions of Indonesia’s Aceh province.
Were Jakarta to obtain the Chinook, it is not clear if it would buy the type in sufficient numbers to warrant a local assembly line. Still, local airframer PT Dirgintara Indonesia has experience building helicopters under licence from companies, such as Bell and Airbus Helicopter, and is also capable of making local modifications to green aircraft produced elsewhere.

We hope there will be 2 participant at the second bidding so KFX/IFX development can be continued. It will be interesting to see who will be the winner. If Korean Air wins, Airbus and Boeing will become the project partner. Those two giant aircraft maker has already had cooperation with PT Dirgantara before. Meanwhile, in my opinion, KAI and Lookheed Martin position remain strong despite that new proposal from Korean Air with several reasons, one of them is because the prototype design (C-103) that has already been tested and analyzed by both South Korean and Indonesian team.
South Korea's New Fighter Jet: Brought to You by Airbus?
Korean Air and Airbus have reportedly agreed on a joint bid to develop South Korea’s new generation of fighter jets.
By Tae-jun Kang
February 05, 2015
South Korea’s top carrier airline Korean Air Lines Co. (Korean Air) is poised to participate in a bid for South Korea’s fighter jet development program in association with Europe’s Airbus. Under the development program, code-named KF-X, South Korea will develop and produce about 120 fighter jets to replace its old models.
An informed official told several Korean media outlets, including Segye Ilbo, that Korean Air and Airbus reached a verbal agreement earlier this week to jointly bid for the development project.
The official’s comment was given anonymously, but it immediately brought media attention as the news is expected to open a new chapter for the government’s development plan. So far, Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has been considered the strongest candidate for winning this project.
Korean Air has been preparing to participate in the KF-X project since last year, when it organized a task force. However, there were doubts over whether Korean Air could compete with KAI, which has the benefit of previous experience developing the T-50 fighter jet. But with a joint bid, Airbus would be able to assist Korean Airlines on technical issues.
“The South Korean military decided to use the twin-engine platform over the single-engine one, and Airbus is familiar with this platform after building the multi-role fighter, the Eurofighter,” another official told Segye Ilbo.
The proposal from Korean Air and its partners is expected to be based on a modified F-18 design, another twin-engine plane. According to some reports, U.S. firm Boeing (developer of the F-18) would also take part in the joint development project, further strengthening Korean Air’s bid.
However, KAI, which is teamed up with the U.S. firm Lockheed Martin, is determined to win the bid as well.
Ha Seong-yong, the Chairman of KAI, said in a press conference on January 28 that KAI today is equipped with better infrastructure than it had when it developed the T-50. He also emphasized that KIA successfully met the deadline for the T-50 project. Ha added the KAI can complete development by 2025, the deadline for the KF-X project, and has the financial ability to take on the project.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), South Korea’s arms procurement agency, is scheduled to close the bidding process on February 9. DAPA will choose a preferred bidder next month before a final selection is made in July.
The KF-X project calls for South Korea to develop and produce about 120 fighter jets to replace its aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 fighters. The new jets are expected to outperform the F-16 model. DAPA estimates the price tag of the KF-X project, which will take about ten and a half years to complete, at around 8.5 trillion won (US$8.3 billion). According to an agreement signed in October 2014, Indonesia will provide 20 percent of the total funding, with South Korea covering the remaining 80 percent.
South Korea and Indonesia launched their partnership for KF-X project in 2011. Timbul Siahaan, director general for defense potential at Indonesia’s Ministry of Defense, said in an interview with South Korea’sKookbang Ilbo that South Korea and Indonesia share the goal of safeguarding regional security, so the KF-X project will benefit both nations.

Navy awaits Jokowi’s nod on central region armada command
The Indonesian Navy is waiting for President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s approval to establish a central region armada command (Armateng) to ensure strong maritime security.
Currently the Navy has two commands: the Western Region Armada Command (Armabar) with headquarters in Jakarta and the Eastern Region Armada Command (Armatim) in Surabaya, East Java.
“We are ready and waiting for the President’s order. We have enough resources and weaponry systems,” Navy spokesperson Commodore Manahan Simorangkir told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Monday.
Manahan said that the central armada would be based in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
He said that there would be no problem in securing personnel for the new command.
“The new armada will run effectively under a good command,” Manahan said, adding that the Navy expected the President to issue a decree on the central armada soon.
Currently the Navy is busy strengthening Armatim and Armabar by developing six naval bases near the country’s borders.
Navy chief Admiral Ade Supandi said that Armabar and Armatim would each get three new naval bases.
“The Naval bases for Armabar will be constructed in Jakarta, Sumatra and Tanjung Pinang. Meanwhile for Armatim we will build bases in North Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara,” Ade said last month.
Military expert Iis Gindarsah said that the plan to establish the central armada would gain good momentum after the Jokowi administration completes its five-year defense blueprint.
“Naval build-up is the centerpiece of the President’s maritime vision,” Iis said.
He said the new armada command would be an integrated element of a joint area defense command (Kogabwilhan) to secure the central part of Indonesia.
Kogabwilhan aims to integrate the regional resources of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force into multi-service groups that will be positioned at certain defense flash points integral to preserving the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Each Kogabwilhan group will be equipped with its own fleet of warships, jet fighter squadrons and Army units. Each group’s commander, a three-star general, will be given the authority to respond without having to go through red tape at the TNI headquarters in Jakarta.
Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Djundan Eko Bintoro confirmed the Navy’s plan, saying that based on the military’s strategic planning, Indonesia should establish Kogabwilhan.
To create Kogabwilhan, the Navy will have three commands — Armabar, Armatim and the upcoming central armada — while the Army should have Division I, Division II and Division III and the Air Force will have operation Commando I, II and III.
“The establishment of each Kogabwilhan will be independent but integrated with each other. We target that the Kogabwilhan plan will be achieved at least by 2024,” Djundan said.
According to him, the Defense Ministry had accomplished all matters related to legal issues such as regulations and budget for Kogabwilhan.
“It is up to the Indonesian Military to execute the program,” he said.
President Jokowi has given his approval on Kogabwilhan, designed for flexible and rapid troop deployment.
The idea to build Kogabwilhan was actually raised in 2008 under the leadership of Jokowi’s predecessor, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who failed to issue a regulation endorsing the formation of the new structure.
The previous government had reportedly planned to have four Kogabwilhan groups covering several flash points in Aceh, Natuna in Riau Islands, Papua and Atambua in East Nusa Tenggara. -

INDONESIAN MARINE CORPS (Korps Marinir/Kormar)
Kormar has been active in various military operations in Indonesia. One of the largest amphibious military operations would have been Operation Jayawijaya in which thousands of marines were planned to land on Biak in 1963 as a part of the Trikora Campaign to take West Irian from Dutch control. The operation was aborted as a consequence deals preceding the New York Agreement.[1]
In 1999 a plan was proposed to expand the Kormar from its strength of 13,000 troops. Based on this plan, every Kormar's base would have three combat brigades: the Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery and would be supported by one Combat Support Regiment and one Administration Support Regiment. The expansion will create three Kormar bases: Surabaya for Eastern area command, Jakarta for Central area command, and Rate Island in Lampung for Western area command. Now the Indonesian Marine Corps has an estimated 29,000 troops in two Marine Forces (PASMARs) and one independent infantry marine regiment, when combined equal to one over-strength infantry division, which includes its own sizable mechanized amphibious and artillery units.
Following a reorganisation introduced in March 2001, the corps consisted of the 1st Marine Corps Group (1,3,5 Battalions) at Surabaya, and the Independent Marine Corps Brigade (2,4,6, Battalions) at Jakarta.(JDW 11 April 2001). The 8th Bn was formed in January 2004 and the 9th Bn was due to be formed in April 2004. They were planned to be part of a new group that would include the 7th Bn and support elements. (JDW 18 February 2004, p. 18) The same Jane's Defence Weekly story (Robert Karniol, 'Indonesia Reinforces Marines') said the Marine Corps leadership is reported to have ambitions for the service to expand to at least two full divisions. However it was reported that the army was opposed, 'perhaps reflecting it's leadership's concern over influence.
