Decree of the Commander of the TNI Number Kep / 666 / VIII / 2020 of August 26, 2020, containing 62 rotating high-ranking officers of the TNI (pati). One of them is the post of Commanding General (Danjen) Kopassus.
Kopassus Danjen, previously held by TNI Major General I Nyoman Cantiasa, is now held by Brigadier General Mohamad Hasan, who was previously Kopassus Deputy Chief of Staff.
According to reports from various sources, on Friday (8/28/2020), Hasan graduated from the Military Academy in 1993. After graduation, Hasan began a military career at Kopassus. Hasan served as Unit Commander for Group 1 / Para Kopassus Commandos in Serang.
In 2016, Brigadier General Hasan was promoted to Commander of Group A of the Presidential Security Force (Paspampres). Group A is tasked with escorting President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Not surprisingly, Hasan is often on duty alongside President Jokowi.
From Group A Paspampres, Hasan was promoted to Commander of Korem 061 / Surya Kencana. Korem 061 commands the Kodim for Bogor City, Sukabumi, Cianjur, Bogor Regency, and Worduhanratu Regency.
He then ‘came home’ in 2019 as Kopassus’ deputy chief. After just one year as Wadanjen, Hasan was promoted again as Danjen Kopassus. He also became the number 1 person special force TNI AD.
Kapuspen TNI Maj. Gen. Sisriadi revealed the reason why Danjen Kopassus was replaced. Brigadier General Hasan replaces Major General Nyoman, who is now appointed Pangdam XVIII / Kasuari in West Papua.

“This is the reason, first is the interest of the organization, the second is the interest of the professional development in question,” Sisriadi said.
Meanwhile, Major General Nyoman secured a new post as Pangdam XVIII / Kasuari in West Papua. Nyoman is known to be the best graduate of the Akmil class of 1990.
“Akmil 90 has become the first military commander,” explained Kadispen TNI AD Brig. Gen. Nefra Firdaus, separately.
