The
Indonesian Marine Corps (
Indonesian:
Korps Marinir,
KorMar) is the
Indonesian National
Navy's
ground troops. It was
created on 15 November 1945, and is the country's main
amphibious warfare force and quick reaction force against
enemy invasion.
[edit] History
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 2 marine force
or (PASMAR) equal to division in the army and one infantry marine
regiment.
