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, 17 September 2024, the 503 Task Forces, especially the Pelabuhan Amor Post led by Second Lieutenant Edi Purnomo, conducted Social Communication (Komsos) with residents of the Dim Village, Kenyam District while performing the areal security patrol.
