Sir the way you helped us, no other country would help another one, and as for our forefathers helping you, that was their duty to help their fellow Muslims.

Historical relationship

During the Indonesian National Revolution, Muhammad Ali Jinnah encouraged Muslim soldiers serving in British Indian army to join hands with Indonesians against their fight against the Dutch Empire colonisation of Indonesia. As a result 600-Muslim soldiers of the British Indian Army deserted the colonial forces putting their lot at stake, allied with Indonesians.[3] Out of these 600 soldiers, 500 of them died in war; while the remaining returned to Pakistan or continued to live in Indonesia. As a recognition of Muslim soldiers from Pakistan, during Indonesia Golden Jubilee celebration on August 17, 1995, Indonesia grants Independence War Awards to the living ex Pakistan soldiers and awarded the highest honor Adipura to the Founding Father of Pakistan Mohammad All Jinnah and the Government of Pakistan.[4]

Pakistan's relationship with Indonesia greatly developed under Gen Ayub Khan. During the 1965 war with India, Indonesia offered to provide Pakistan with military help, and 'to seize Andaman and Nicobar Islands' of India so as to distract it from the Kashmir front.[5][6] Indonesia openly supported Pakistan by sending its navy to defend East Pakistan.

According to a 2013 BBC World Service Poll, 43% of Indonesians view Pakistan's influence positively, with 25% expressing a negative view, the most favorable perception of Pakistan in Asia and the world.[7]

Kostrad

Kostrad (Komando Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat: "Army Strategic Reserve Command") is the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve Command. Kostrad is a Corps level command which has up to 35,000 troops. It also supervises operational readiness among all commands and conducts defense and security operations at the strategic level in accordance with policies of the TNI commander.

As a corps, Kostrad is commanded by a Panglima (Commander-in-Chief), usually a lieutenant general. Kostrad falls under the army chief of staff for training, personnel, and administration.[2] However, it comes under the Commander-in-Chief of the Indonesian National Armed Forces for operational command and deployment. Kostrad typically receives best equipments in the Army and its two armored battalions will soon receive Leopard 2A4 and Leopard 2 Revolution tanks.

Starting 1984 the Panglima of Kostrad (Pangkostrad) has been charged to lead the conduct of combat operations, called defense and security operations.

History
Kostrad came into being during military action for Indonesia's take over of Western New Guinea in 1960, and was formally constituted on 6 March 1961.[3] Initially designated the Army General Reserve Corps, its name was changed to Kostrad in 1963.

General Suharto, was appointed as the first head of Kostrad in 1961, and it was in this role that he was able assert the army's control in the days following the abortive coup attempt on the evening of 30 September 1965, which ultimately led to Suharto replacing Sukarno as Indonesian president.

The command's troops have fought in most Indonesian military operations since their formation, such as G-30-S/PKI (30 September Movement/Indonesian Communist Party), Trisula, the PGRS (Sarawak People's Guerrilla Force) in Sarawak, the PARAKU (North Kalimantan People's Force) in North Kalimantan, and Operation Seroja in East Timor.

Kostrad troops have also been used beyond Indonesia's borders, as was the case with Garuda Contingent in Egypt (1973–78) and Vietnam (1973–75) and with those in the United Nations Iran–Iraq Military Observer Group in the midst of the Iran–Iraq War of 1989 and 1990.

When was the last time this reserve saw battle?

We still have military operation in Papua until now, and this unit is one of our backbones in any wars (Kopassus/Marinir/Kostrad/Raiders/Brimob). The scenario of a video I posted earlier in Kostrad post is also derived from a real military operation.

Actually this "Reserve" is Indonesian army main combat element along with the Marine Corps of the Navy.
Indonesia Army structure is based on territorial army distributed all across the provinces in battalion level and two Kostrad division, each division has airborne brigades and armored brigades as mobile-reaction forces ready to be deployed in every corners of Indonesian territory so they are called 'Reserve'
Kostrad division saw its last major combat operation in 2003 during the military operation against the rebels of Free Aceh Movement. In this operation, Kostrad's Airborne Brigade conducted combat airborne operation dropping full battalion on enemy territory. Before that, Kostrad units engaged in a long bloody war against East Timor guerrilla from 1975 until 1999.
After the Aceh Conflict ended with peace treaty in 2005 all anti-separatist/anti insurgents operation are transferred from the Army to the police mobile brigade units. But in small units, Kostrad along with Kopassus (Army Commando) still operates in conflict area especially in West Papua.
