After Indonesia proclaimed its independence in 1945, Soeparmin entered the newly formed Indonesian Army and served as a company commander from 1951. He was promoted afterward and commanded several battalions from 1951 until 1957.[1]

After commanding various military units, Soeparmin was rotated to the army headquarters and became a subaltern officer without any position. He was appointed as the chief of staff of the Udayana Regional Military Command two years later and served from 1959 until 1964.[1]
