The handover ceremony was conducted by the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army (KASAD) General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak at the Army Headquarters (Mabesad) in Jakarta on Friday (08/03/2024), followed by a unit handover ceremony from Deddy to Djon at the Kopassus Headquarters (Mako) in Cijantung, Jakarta, later that Friday (08/03/2024), afternoon.

During the unit handover ceremony, Djon expressed his commitment to delivering the best for Kopassus and encouraged all Kopassus soldiers to strengthen the elite force of the Indonesian Army together.

“We will make today better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today,” said the new Danjen Kopassus during the ceremony.

“To the soldiers, let us build Kopassus together. Give your best. Let Kopassus be professional, adaptive, and modern, while still rooted in faith and devotion to the Almighty,” said Djon, who graduated as the best student from the Military Academy in 1995.

He also expressed gratitude to his predecessor, Major General TNI Deddy Suryadi, who also officially assumed the position of Pangdam IV/Diponegoro on Friday (08/03/2024).

He bid farewell to the Kopassus soldiers and thanked them, along with the Kopassus leadership, for their support.

“Kopassus will be a unit to be proud of, and a pride of the Indonesian nation,” he said.
