TheDwikora Cabinet (Indonesian:Kabinet Dwikora) was the 23rdIndonesian cabinet. PresidentSukarno reshuffled the previous cabinet on 27 August 1964 to produce a cabinet better able to implement the government policy he had announced in his Independence Day speech entitled "The Year of Living Dangerously". The cabinet was appointed on 2 September and served for a year and five months before being reshuffled on 21 February 1966.
As a result of the aftermath of the30 September Movement coup attempt of 1965 in which Minister/Commander of the Army Ahmad Yani died along with 5 other top Army general officers, Sukarno appointed Maj. Gen. Pranoto Reksosamodra to the by then vacant post of Minister/Commander of the Army on 3 October 1965. His term ended on 14 October the same year, when Maj. Gen. Suharto, then the commander ofKostrad, was appointed to the post with effect the same day.
On 27 November, Air Marshal Omar Dani, due to pressure from many in the armed forces for his role in the coup attempt, resigned. His post as Minister/Commander of the Air Force was taken over by Air Vice Marshal Sri Mulyono Herlambang who was appointed to succeed him the same day.
