This film was taken from inside of Hawk 200 which flown by Capt Romas during TNI summit joint exercise which has held in Singkawang area, West Kalimantan. Joint exercise between three services is aim to apply doctrins, methods and techniques that we have decided before. Every service shows their best performance and ability to support each other during any operations. The joint exercise has been devided into several parts of operation. It started with infiltration of some groups of special forces. Some of them were dropped by aircraft called forward control linud operations and other groups deployed by boat via ocean. By the time they reached enemy teritory, they put off their attribute, used everything to camuflage theirselves and act as non military personnel. The infiltrans main duties were to spy or take many informations of enemy forces and looked for the strength, the weakness and the most possible tactics to defeat the enemies. This part of exercise was happen in Batam, they attempted to take control Hang Nadim air force base as a scenario that had been created it had occupied by enemy forces. Just after the special forces took control to the base, they gave information to the chief of operation command that he could give order to troops batalion to attacked the enemy. The troops batalion then dropped at hang Nadim Base by C-130 and try to control the area around the base. The herky flight was escorted by Hawk 109/209 from Pekanbaru as air cover. At the same time in ranai, ten hercules aircrafts dropped other linud troops to grab Ranai Air Base that had been occupied by enemy forces. This Operation previously started with direct air strike from three Hawk 209 from pontianak Air force base. As soon as the target destroyed and dropping zone was clear enough, the linud troops dropped and started to fight the rest enemy present. Joint exercise then simulated the enemy forces could reach north Kalimantan Via Singkawang and built their forces there. Furthermore, the enemy forces used Singkawang as their forward base for other attack.
