Combat Reconnaissance Unit (Intai Tempur/Taipur) Kostrad

Kostrad (Komando Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat: "Army Reserve Strategic Command") is a formation of theIndonesian Army. Kostrad is a Corps level command which has up to 35,000 troops. It also supervises operational readiness among all commands and conducts defence 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), 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 armoured 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 defence and security operations.

Doesnt look like like Phil Camo, maybe Cambodia

SS 2 has big power, it is an advantage for shooting competition or war situation where accuracy is so important. Need strong muscle to handle this weapon, particularly to handle the sock each time we fire, M 16 is more easy though.

Maybe new SS 2 version like V 5 some thing that is the one which is used by US soldiers during the exercise, for the first version is not that light, it is the experience of a former marine though (my former client )

That was trange, the bigger the recoil of a riffle the more difficult to obtain accurate grouping result, thus making it a poor assault rifle
