General TNI (Ret.) Wismoyo Arismunandar is a retired high-ranking TNI-AD officer who served as the 17th Army Chief of Staff from 1993 to 1995 and Pangkostrad from 1990 to 1992.

He also served as Wakasad from 1992 to 1993.Before taking on the position of Pangkostrad, the deceased also served as Pangdam XVII / Tkr in 1986 and Pangdam IV / Dip in 1989.

From position to position he worked in the ranks of the red beret corps up to the position of Danjen Kopassus. The figure of Wismoyo, who is the brother-in-law of the Second President of the Republic of Indonesia Soeharto (married to Sri Hardjanti) is known to be close to his subordinates and firm in his discipline.

His name was sticking out as a candidate for ABRI Commander but Suharto preferred Feisal Tanjung and assigned Wismoyo as Chairman of the KONI.
