The Commander of Army Strategic Reserve Command (Indonesian: Panglima Komando Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat; abbreviated as Pangkostrad) is the highest position of Army Strategic Reserve Command or Kostrad. Kostrad falls under the army chief of staff for training, personnel, and administration.[1]
The position of Commander of the Army Strategic Reserve Command is considered a stepping stone to high-level government positions in Indonesia. Many of its commanders have gone on to become prominent national leaders. For instance, Suharto and Prabowo Subianto, both rose to become President; while Umar Wirahadikusumah became Vice-President; Rudini, served as Minister of Home Affairs; Ryamizard Ryacudu, advanced to become Chief of Staff of the Army and Minister of Defence; and numerous commanders have subsequently held the roles of Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces.
