Kopassus troops

Kopassus different organizational structures with infantry units in general. Although the terms of the corps, the members of Kopassus are generally derived from the Infantry Corps, but according to the specific nature, then Kopassus create their own structure, which is different from other infantry units.
Kopassus deliberately not tied to a common size infantry unit, it appears on their units called groups. The use of the term Group aims to units owned by them avoid the standard infantry unit size in general (eg Brigade). With this unit, Kopassus be flexible in determining the number of personnel, could be much more than the size of a brigade (about 5,000 personnel), or less.
Five Forces Group
Kopassus - Martial Demo
Broadly speaking, the Kopassus unit is divided into five groups, namely:
1/Para Command Group - located in Serang, Banten
2/Para Command Group - located in Kartasura, Central Java
Special Forces Education Centre - located in Batujajar, West Java

81/Penanggulangan Terror Unit - Cijantung located in East Jakarta
Unless Pusdikpassus, which serves as a center of education, the Group-Group has a function other operational (combat). Thus Pusdikpassus structure different from the other groups. Each group (except Pusdikpassus), subdivided into battalions, for example: Yon 11, 12 and 13 (from Group 1), and Group 21, 22 and 23 (Group 2).
Number of personnel
Because of a special forces Kopassus, then in carrying out combat operations, the number of personnel involved relatively few, not as many as the number of regular infantry personnel, in other words, do not use conventional size ranging from platoon to battalion.

The term in unity
Because unlike the unit in general, units under the battalion was not called the company, but the detachment, unit or team. Special Forces personnel are rarely involved in a lot of operations. In order not to be bound by the size of the company or platoon standard, then Kopassus need to have a separate designation for the unit, to be more flexible.
