TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto said he deployed 30,151 personnel to help flood victims in Sumatra.
The deployment of large numbers of troops was carried out so that residents could be evacuated and received logistical assistance quickly.
"I have deployed 30,151 people in all areas affected by the completeness," Agus said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 3.
He said the troops deployed came from various units in each Matra. One of the roles is the Development Territorial Battalion (BTP).
Troops, he continued, made various efforts to start searching for victims buried by landslides or washed away, evacuating residents who were still trapped in the flood to distribute logistics.
In addition, the TNI also deployed helicopters and transport planes to distribute logistics to difficult-to-reach disaster points.
From the sea dimension, the TNI has also sent two hospital ships along with personnel to provide medical services for flood victims.
The Commander also mobilized his soldiers in the Indonesian Army to build bridges at several land lane points damaged by landslides.
All of these troops do not work alone, but cooperate with the National Police, BNPB and local governments in restoring post-disaster areas.
Until now, his troops are still working at several disaster points. He ensured that his troops would continue to be assigned there until conditions at the disaster site were conducive.
