KODAM IV/Diponegoro or IVMilitary Regional Command/Diponegoro (Indonesian:Komando Daerah Militer IV/Diponegoro) is a military area command (effectively amilitary district) of theIndonesian Army. It covers the provinces ofCentral Java and theSpecial Region of Yogyakarta on the island ofJava. It is named after theJava War hero PrinceDiponegoro. It appears to have been first established in 1950, and inherited the heritage of the former 3rd Diponegoro Division and other Central Java infantry units. Diponegoro Division personnel have been very significant in the history of the Indonesian Army. Among its early officers wasSarwo Edhie Wibowo, who served as battalion and regimental commander in the division from 1945 to 1953. Former commanders of the division includeSoeharto, a former president of Indonesia. Divisional personnel, including Lieutenant ColonelUntung Syamsuri, were involved in the30 September Movement events of 1965. Former presidentSusilo Bambang Yudhoyono was also a member of this KODAM when he took command of KOREM 072/Pamungkas atYogyakarta during his military tenure.
As of 1965, the Diponegoro Division had three infantry brigades, the 4th/Dewa Ratna, 5th/Lukitasari, and 6th/Tri Shakti Balajaya. The headquarters of the 4th is located inTegal, Central Java, the 5th was inSemarang, Central Java, and 6th was inSolo, Central Java.[2] Among those three, the 4th is the currently active brigade, after the disbanding of the 5th and transfer of the 6th toKostrad.
Today Kodam IV includes the Military Area Commands – Korem 071/Wijayakusuma atPurwokerto, Korem 072/Pamungkas atYogyakarta, Korem 073/Makutarama atSalatiga, and Korem 074/Warastratama atSolo, Central Java,[3] as well as the 4th Infantry Brigade atTegal, Central Java. All Korems are commanded by an army colonel, however, as part of the Army restructuring program, Korem 072/Pamungkas is presently commanded by a brigadier general, stating that it is the only Korem overseeing a whole province.
