NDUGA - One of the military units under the command of the Indonesian Armed Forces Operational Command HABEMA, the Task Forces of the Para Raider Infantry Battalion 503/Mayangkara Kostrad, is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, especially in Nduga Regency, Papua Pegunungan Province. On Tuesday, 27 August 2024, the 503 Task Forces, especially the Batas Batu Post led by First Lieutenant Galih Widiharyo, secured the Mumugu Village, Krepkuri District, through a Security Patrol.

The actions of the Patrol Team in Mumugu Village have followed up on the emphasis of the Commander of 503 Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Gurbasa Samosir, regarding the importance of the Task Forces’ attention to the community's basic needs in the assigned area.
