JAYAPURA, PAPUA - The Indonesian Military has seized 28 weapons from a separatist group during the period between January and April 2014, noted the Cendrawasih XVII Regional Military Commander Mayor General Christian Zebua.
"The 28 weapons of varying types were seized by the military personnel operating in the Puncak District," Zebua remarked during an interview to Antara after the Promotion Ceremony here, on Friday. He claimed that the seized weapons were SS-1 Pindad, M-16, AK-47, Mouser, FN-46 pistol, air rifle, air soft gun, and homemade weapons.
In order to acknowledge their efforts and achievements, the Indonesian Army Chief of Staff General Budiman bestowed honors on 23 army soldiers who operated in the remote areas in Papua following the seizure of the weapons.
The 23 soldiers who received the honors were from infantry battalion 751, battalion 753, and battalion 754. Of the 23 soldiers, Private Chief Sugiarto received the honor posthumously.
The army leader also bestowed honors on four army officers who served in three battalions. "The army leader hoped that giving these honors to the privates and officers of the Indonesian Army will encourage other soldiers to follow suit and be focused," Zebua noted.
