Members of the Indonesian Navy’s elite Komando Pasukan Katak (KOPASKA) engaged in a joint combined exchange training (JCET) with a U.S. Naval Special Warfare (NSW) unit from 1-26 July 2024.
The training encompassed various specialized skills, including maritime tactics, close-quarters combat, sniper shooting, tactical combat casualty care, casualty evacuation procedures, and mission planning.
JCET events demonstrate the partnership between the United States and Indonesia, improving bilateral relations, strengthening defense capabilities, and promoting interoperability among allied forces.
"These exercises offer a unique opportunity for both nations," said an NSW operator participating in the JCET. "They support both countries in forging lasting bonds, cultivating relationships, and exchanging invaluable cultural insights, which are indispensable during times of good and bad."
In November 2023, U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin and Indonesian Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto signed a historic Defense Cooperation Arrangement and discussed ways to expand training opportunities, increase educational exchanges, and improve maritime domain awareness. The countries’ strong bilateral defense relationship is at the heart of this strategic partnership.
