Satgas Pomad Para
Indonesian presidential bodyguard unit (1966-1976) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Satgas Pomad Para (Indonesian: "Satuan Tugas Polisi Militer Angkatan Darat Para", English: "Para-Military Police Task Force") was the presidential bodyguard unit established by former Indonesian President Soeharto. This task force of military policemen and paratroopers replaced the Tjakrabirawa Regiment after the failed 1965 coup. This task force was liquidated in 1976 and is one of the predecessors of the present day Paspampres.[2]
