As a result, GAM's command in Pidie had instructed all field commanders by telephone to pull back from the sagoe (sub-district) to the daerah (district) base and that henceforth military actions could only be undertaken on the order of the daerah commander and with the permission of the wilayah (regional) commander.
Akibatnya, komando GAM di Pidie menginstruksikan kepada semua komandan lapangan melalui telepon agar mundur dari sagoe (subdistrik) ke daerah (distrik) dan aksi militer hanya dapat dilaksanakan jika ada perintah dari komandan daerah disertai izin komandan wilayah.
