VIVA – One of the abilities possessed by soldiers TNI of the elite Special Forces Command (Kopassus) is moving silently, unnoticed by the enemy. Having these qualifications, all members of the Red Beret Corps often receive secret missions.
Quoted VIVA Military from Rice EyesOne of the missions of Kopassus soldiers was when they were deployed to East Timor (now Timor-Leste) to crush the remaining separatist groups of the Timor-Leste Independence Revolutionary Front (Fretilin).
Kopassus has played an important role in military operations in East Timor, since it began on 7 December 1975 under the code name Operation Seroja. However, in this story, a testimony emerged from a former member of the Infantry Battalion 405 / Surya Kusuma (Yonif 405 / SK) whose name was anonymous, and at that time was still a TNI sergeant.
At that time, he was one of the soldiers of the joint Infantry Battalion 405 / SK army and a number of Kopassus members who received a raid mission in 1995.
