History
Initially, there were 34 personnel in Bravo: 1 commanding officer, 3 group commanders, and 30 troops. No information has been released about this unit from its limited formation until the end of the 1990s. In this vacuum, it is believed that its members were assigned into Kopaskhasaus Demonstration and Training Unit (Satdemolat). It was only on 9 September 1999 that the special forces detachment was formally established.
Bravo's personnel are recruited from the best graduates of Kopasgat training in the Air Force. About 5 to 10 Kopasgat graduates are recruited for this elite unit each year. To train in its anti-terror techniques, the unit also trains at the Army's Sat-81 Gultor (Kopassus) GMF facility and aeroplane hostage rescue trainings, Marines' Denjaka facility for off-shore airfields infiltration and attack trainings, Navy's KOPASKA facility for underwater demolition trainings, Indonesian Police's Gegana Detachment facility for anti-bomb unit trainings and with the British Special Air Service Regiment for direct action, counter-terrorism, special intelligence and HALO/HAHO skills.
