JAKARTA - Head of the Army Engineer Center (Kapusziad) Major General Budi Hariswanto said his party would immediately rotate its personnel who were undergoing assignments in Congo and Central Africa.

The replacement was carried out because the personnel's tenure had run out and had to be replaced with a new unit.

"The unit that is carrying out foreign duties is Yonzipur 2 Kodam II/Sriwijaya who carries out their duties as the Minusca Car Task Force in Central Africa, which is planned to be replaced by Yonzipur XIV Menzikon," said Budi Hariswanto when giving a speech at the 76th Anniversary of the Indonesian Army Zeni at the Army Engineer Corps Headquarters, Matraman, East Jakarta, Tuesday, October 15, confiscated by Antara.

Meanwhile, the Yonzipur 14 Menzikon Unit and Yonzipur 3 Kodam III/Siliwangi Units serving as the Monusco Task Force in Congo will be replaced with Denzipur 10 Kodam XVII/Cendrawasih.

Budi explained that his troops were assigned there to protect residents in areas that were in conflict.

Not only that, but its troops are also tasked with carrying out the construction of several temporary infrastructures such as water sources and temporary evacuation sites.

Budi himself could not confirm when the change of troops would be made. However, he ensured that the rotation of the troops would be carried out in the near future.

Not only missions abroad, Budi also explained that his party was active in carrying out military operations other than war (OMSP) in the country.

Military operations that are often carried out are carrying out the evacuation process for disaster victims, the construction of evacuation posts for residents to build temporary infrastructure in disaster sites.

Infrastructure built such as bridges and roads that can be used as access in and out of logistical assistance.
