The TNI Commander believes that the presence and presence of Kogabwilhan III Headquarters in Timika will automatically increase the percentage of Mimika youths accepted as TNI soldiers.

"I am sure that in the next 25 to 30 years there will be many generals born from Mimika. That's our hope, "he said.
