The Commander of Army Strategic Reserve Command (; abbreviated as ) is the highest position of Army Strategic Reserve Command or Kostrad. Kostrad falls under the army chief of staff for training, personnel, and administration.John Haseman, 'Indonesian strategic command upgraded,' Jane's Intelligence Review, March 1997, p.130
The position of Commander of the Army Strategic Reserve Command is considered a stepping stone to high-level government positions in Indonesia. Many of its commanders have gone on to become prominent national leaders. For instance, Suharto and Prabowo Subianto, both rose to become President; while Umar Wirahadikusumah became Vice-President; Rudini, served as Minister of Home Affairs; Ryamizard Ryacudu, advanced to become Chief of Staff of the Army and Minister of Defence; and numerous commanders have subsequently held the roles of Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces.
