Jakarta – Indonesian military commander Gen. Moeldoko has announced that Presidential Security Detail (Paspampres) commander Maj. Gen. Doni Monardo has been promoted to commander of the Army's Special Forces (Kopassus).

"I have signed the documents. We just have to wait for the official inauguration," Moeldoko said on Wednesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

However, Moeldoko said that he would not make any decision regarding who would be the new Paspampres commander because the decision could only be made by president-elect Joko "Jokowi" Widodo. "The Paspampres commander will be decided by the president-elect," Moeldoko said.

Besides Doni, other officers who will take up new posts include the current Kopassus commander Maj. Gen. Agus Sutomo who will soon take over as the new Jakarta military commander. Agus will replace Maj. Gen. Mulyono, who will take up the post of Army Strategic Reserve (Kostrad) commander.

The post of Kostrad commander has been vacant since President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono installed the previous commander Lt. Gen. Gatot Nurmayanto as the Army chief of staff on July 22.
