Pimpinan Angkatan Perang RI saat itu segera mengerahkan pasukan untuk menumpas gerombolan tersebut. Operasi ini dipimpin langsung oleh Panglima Tentara Teritorium III Kolonel A.E. Kawilarang, sedangkan sebagai Komandan Operasinya ditunjuk Letkol Slamet Riyadi.

Operasi ini memang berhasil menumpas gerakan pemberontakan, namun dengan korban yang tidak sedikit dipihak TNI. Setelah dikaji ternyata dalam beberapa pertempuran, musuh dengan kekuatan yang  relatif lebih kecil sering kali mampu menggagalkan serangan TNI yang kekuatannya jauh lebih besar. 

Hal ini ternyata bukan hanya  disebabkan semangat anggota pasukan musuh yang lebih tinggi atau perlengkapan yang lebih lengkap, namun juga taktik dan pengalaman tempur yang baik didukung kemampuan tembak tepat dan gerakan perorangan.

Peristiwa inilah yang akhirnya mengilhami Letkol Slamet Riyadi untuk mempelopori pembentukan suatu satuan pemukul yang dapat digerakkan secara cepat dan tepat untuk menghadapi berbagai sasaran di medan yang bagaimanapun beratnya. 

Namun cita-cita Letkol Slamet Riyadi tidak dapat diwujudkannya karena beliau gugur pada salah satu pertempuran. Cita-cita luhur ini kemudian dilanjutkan oleh Kolonel A.E Kawilarang.

Melalui Instruksi Panglima Tentara dan Teritorial III No. 55/Inst/PDS/52 tanggal 16 April 1952 terbentuklah KESATUAN KOMANDO TERITORIUM III yang merupakan cikal bakal “Korps Baret Merah”. 

Sebagai Komandan pertama dipercayakan kepada Mayor Mochammad Idjon Djanbi, mantan Kapten KNIL yang pernah bergabung dengan Korps Special Troopen dan pernah bertempur dalam Perang Dunia II.

Dalam perjalanan selanjutnya satuan ini beberapa kali mengalami perubahan nama diantaranya Kesatuan Komando Angkatan Darat (KKAD) pada tahun 1953, Resimen Pasukan  Komando Angkatan Darat (RPKAD) pada tahun 1952, selanjutnya pada tahun 1955 berubah menjadi Resimen Para Komando Angkatan Darat (RPKAD) dengan menambah kualifikasi Para kepada setiap prajuritnya.

Pada tahun 1966 satuan ini kembali berganti nama menjadi Pusat Pasukan Khusus TNI AD (PUSPASSUS TNI AD), berikutnya pada tahun 1971 nama satuan ini berganti menjadi Komando Pasukan Sandi Yudha (KOPASSANDHA). Pada Tahun 1985 satuan ini berganti nama menjadi Komando Pasukan Khusus (KOPASSUS) sampai sekarang.

Setelah beberapa kali mengalami perubahan dalam organisasi, sesuai Surat Panglima TNI Nomor : B/563-08/05/06/SRU tanggal 23 Maret 2001, maka struktur organisasi Kopassus saat ini terdiri dari : 

• Makopassus, berkedudukan di Cijantung. Sesanti Pataka  Kopassus adalah “ TRIBUANA CHANDRACA SATYA DHARMA”. 

• Pusdiklatpassus, berkedudukan di Batujajar dengan sesanti Sempana “ TRI YUDHA SAKTI ”.

• Grup-1 Kopassus, berkedudukan  di Serang dengan sesanti Dhuaja “ EKA WASTU BALADIKA ”.

• Grup-2 Kopassus, berkedudukan di Solo dengan sesanti Dhuaja “ DWI DHARMA BIRAWA YUDHA”. 

• Grup-3 Kopassus, berkedudukan di Cijantung dengan sesanti Dhuaja “ CATUR  KOTTAMAN  WIRA  NARACA  BYUHA ”.

• Satuan-81 Kopassus, berkedudukan di Cijantung dengan sesanti Dhuaja “ SIAP SETIA BERANI “.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
