is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, especially in the Puncak Regency, Papua Tengah Province.
On Friday, 24 January 2025, the 323 Task Forces, especially the Kodim Persiapan/Preparatory Territorial Command Headquarters (Koper) Post led by First Lieutenant Anggun, conducted “ROSITA” (Buy up Farming Products) belonging to residents from the Jenggerpaga Village, Ilaga District, during their task of conducting areal protection patrol.

Therefore, on Friday morning, the Soldiers took advantage of their routine security duty by helping the residents’ economy by selling their farming products.
During the Rosita program, the Soldiers went above and beyond their duty, interacting and communicating with the residents.
Despite their financial constraints, the Soldiers used their own pocket money to buy and use the products for daily food.
This personal sacrifice of the Soldiers to help the residents’ economy is a testament to their unwavering commitment.
The sellers were happy because the Soldiers bought their products. One of the sellers, Mama Arta Wonda, was delighted with her revenue that morning and said, “Thank you, Commander 323. God bless.”
Upon receiving the activity report, the HABEMA Commanding General, Brigadier General Lucky Avianto, commended the 323 Task Forces’ initiative to buy farming products belonging to residents from Jenggerpaga Village.
His words: ‘The 323 Task Forces’ initiative is a testament to TNI’s commitment to help the people’s economy to support the acceleration of development in the Papua region.’
This recognition from the highest authority in HABEMA is not just a commendation but a testament to the significant impact of such initiatives on the region’s development.
It instills profound hope and optimism about their potential to shape the region’s future positively.
It makes the Task Forces and the community feel recognized, valued, and respected for their efforts.
It gives everyone a sense of hope and optimism about the region’s future development.
