Jakarta. Armed Forces Commander General Agus Subiyanto has issued a decree for the rotation and promotion of 76 high-ranking officers holding strategic positions within the military.
Among those affected, two officers have been appointed to new roles within the presidential office.
Major General Ariyo Windutomo, previously head of the oversight body at the University of Defense, has been named the head of the Presidential Secretariat.
Major General Kosasih, who served as an advisor to President Prabowo Subianto during his tenure as defense minister, has been appointed as the president’s military secretary.
The appointments of Ariyo and Kosasih will require the president's approval before they officially assume their new roles.
Brigadier General Bayu Permana, commander of the Mulawarman Regional Military Command, has been promoted to deputy head of the State Intelligence Agency.
