Indonesia & us. the reason indonesia did not want to learn anti terror

 

United States known to have some anti-terror special forces are well known world. Among these Navy Seals and Delta Force. Kopassus troops but did not want to imitate the style of US special forces.

Efficient Ways to Strengthen Friendship Road-JalanDi late 70s, aircraft hijacking and terrorism rampant in various parts of the world. TNI feel there should be a special unit which has the ability of anti-terror and hostage release. The units chosen are Sandi Yudha Forces Command (Kopasandha). The reason, the red beret forces have already had a special ability and satisfied with the experience of combat operations.

At that time, Lieutenant General Benny Murdani served as Assistant and Chief of Defence Intelligence Strategic Intelligence Centre. He ordered Lt. Col. Sintong seek the most appropriate formula to build Indonesian anti-terror forces.

But Benny advised one thing, do not practice in the United States. The reason, the United States rely too much on the sophistication of the tools and technology excellence.

"This could lead to personnel being spoiled," said Sintong.

So Sintong make observations to a number of countries that already have anti-terror forces. He followed the army Special Air Service (SAS) in the UK. This force was already a legend elite forces. Sintong studying ways countermeasures aircraft hijacking.

In addition, he also studied at the Commando Corps Troepen Kingdom of the Netherlands. Then a French naval special forces.

Not to forget she also studied at the GSG-9 anti-terrorist forces or Grenzchutzsgruppe 9. West Germany was called fragrant thanks to the success of freeing hostages in Mogadishu, Somalia.

While in Asia, Sintong choose South Korean special forces. The surplus, these forces always perform self-defense training for four hours a day if you are not doing the surgery.

However Sintong admitted not so impressed with what was shown by the elite forces of each country. According to him, every mission hostage-average is in place that has been fully controlled. The mission ends after the hostages rescued.

This differs from the practice Sandi Yudha carried Kopasandha. Troops were later called Kopassus were trained to free prisoners in the area controlled enemies. So after freeing prisoners, they also have to think about how to escape.

Sintong then concocting how anti-terror forces training suitable for Indonesia. Not completed all the preparations, the challenge had already come. March 28, 1981 DC-9 aircraft owned by Garuda Indonesia Woyla hijacked and flown into the Don Muang Airport, Bangkok.

The operation to free hostages held three days later. All the hostages were rescued alive while five hijackers were shot dead. Operation Woyla spotlight and prove the Indonesian anti-terror forces nascent as good as their elders in the world.
