# 1st Fleet Command

The 1st Fleet Command (Indonesian: Komando Armada I abbreviated as Koarmada I) is one of the fleet commands under the Indonesian Fleet Command, which covers the western maritime region of Indonesia.

## History

Based on the Commander of the Armed Forces' Decree Number: SKEP/171/III/1985 dated March 30, 1985, the Indonesian Navy was divided into two operational areas, namely the Western Fleet Command and the Eastern Fleet Command. Subsequently, based on the Navy Chief of Staff's Decree No. SKEP/4033/XI/1987 dated November 17, 1987, the birth date of the Indonesian Fleet was established as December 5, which is henceforth known as the Indonesian Fleet Day.
On May 11, 2018, the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto, inaugurated four new units, including the 3rd Infantry Division/Kostrad, the 3rd Indonesian Navy Fleet Command (Koarmada III), the 3rd Marine Corps of the Indonesian Navy (Pasmar 3), and the 3rd Air Operations Command (Koopsau III). In addition, the names of the Western Fleet Command were changed to Fleet Command I, and the Eastern Fleet Command was renamed to Fleet Command II. These additions and renaming of units were part of the Indonesian National Armed Forces' (TNI) plan as outlined in Presidential Regulation Number 10 of 2010 and Presidential Regulation Number 62 of 2016, as well as the 100-day work program of the Commander of the Armed Forces. The renaming of the Western Fleet Command (Koarmabar) to Fleet Command I was in accordance with Navy Chief of Staff Regulation Number 18 of 2018 concerning the Renaming of the Fleet Command and Marine Corps.
Due to the geographical constellation of areas deemed to have strategic vulnerabilities, such as the Sabang Waters, Malacca Strait, Singapore Strait, North Natuna Sea, and the Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lane I, which traverses the Karimata Strait, Sunda Strait, Java Sea, and the Indian Ocean, the decision was made to relocate the headquarters of Fleet Command I based on Navy Chief of Staff Decree Number Kep/2794/VIII/2022 dated August 8, 2022. The Fleet Command I was relocated to Tanjung Pinang, and officially inaugurated on December 5, 2022, coinciding with the Indonesian Fleet Day, during a Fleet Day ceremony at Fleet Command I Headquarters, led by Vice Admiral Ahmadi Heri Purwono as the Ceremony Inspector.
