📜 Internal Military Conflicts and Government Policies

This section delves into the internal conflicts between central and regional military forces. Key issues included the reorganization and rationalization policies initiated by T.B. Simatupang and later implemented by Nasution, which caused discontent among regional military divisions, particularly the 9th Banteng Division.

The narrative shifts to the broader discontent with centralized governance, particularly among regions outside Java like Sumatra and Sulawesi. These regions, despite contributing significantly to national revenue, felt neglected in terms of development and autonomy.
