History

The college was established by the Chief of Staff of the Army in 1951. The first commander was Lieutenant Colonel A.Y. Mokoginta. The college was established because there was a shortage of well-trained army officers who were capable of advanced command and staff responsibilities or leadership such as unit commanders and executive officers. In 1953, the first campus of the college was inaugurated by President Sukarno in Bandung.[2]
