PUNCAK - One of the military units under the command of the Indonesian Armed Forces Operational Command HABEMA, the Task Forces of the Raider Infantry Battalion 323/Buaya Putih Kostrad, is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, especially in the Puncak Regency, Papua Tengah Province. On Wednesday, 18 September 2024, the 323 Task Forces, especially the Eromaga Post led by First Lieutenant Anggun, conducted Social Communication (Komsos) with residents of the Eronggobak Village, Omukia District, while performing the areal security patrol.
