Abstract

Ahmad Yani (1922-1965), also known as Yani, was the Commander of the Indonesian National Army which was formed into the Dutch East Indies army (KNIL) in 1940 and joined PETA (Defenders of the Fatherland) in 1943. Yani enrolled in PETA as an Interpreter (in Japanese it is called Cuyaku), but because he had a talent for military strategy and leadership, the Japanese proposed him to become a full-fledged military soldier by attending Heiho military education in Magelang and Syodanco Military Education in Bogor. In 1945, Yani joined the army of the Republic of Indonesia by forming a battalion (battalion 4 regiment XIV Magelang) to resist the British colonization of Magelang. Due to his excellent achievements with good leadership strategy talents, in 1948, Ahmad Yani was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and led the Diponegoro Brigade in charge of the Suryosumpeno Battalion, Daryatmo Battalion and Panuju Battalion. The highlight of Yani's career was in 1963-1965 as Chief of Army Staff with the rank of Lieutenant General. In 1965 there was a conflict of political ideologies that caused friction during the reign of President Soekarno between the Presidential Palace and the Indonesian Army. Ahmad Yani was accused of interfering in President Sukarno's policies. In the end, Yani was shot and thrown into a water well in Lubang Buaya Jakarta. This event was known as the September 30, 1965 Movement by the PKI (G30S/PKI).
