Habema Marines' Care For Community Services Was Happily Welcomed By Sokamu Residents

YAHUKIMO - One of the military units under the command of the Indonesian Armed Forces Operational Command HABEMA, the Task Forces of the Marines Infantry Battalion 6, is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, especially in Yahukimo Regency, Papua Pegunungan Province. This operation involves area security, with the primary goal of ensuring the safety and security of the region. On Friday, 6 September 2024, the Marines Task Forces conducted a patrol to secure the area by visiting and greeting residents in the Sokamu Village, Dekai District.

Emphasizing the Soldiers' role, the Commander of the Marines Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Rismanto Manurung, stressed the importance of the Task Forces’ attention to the basic necessities of the community around the Post. This message was not just words but an immediate call to action, a reassurance of the Marines' commitment to the community. Therefore, the Bravo Post, led by Second Lieutenant Alter, apparently answered by conducting Patrol and carrying out Social Services for residents they met along the Patrol route. While still prioritizing the security aspect, when passing by residents, the Soldiers invited them to communicate and were greeted happily by the Sokamu residents.
