Jakarta. Armed Forces Commander General Agus Subiyanto has announced a major reshuffle involving around 300 high-ranking military officers across various government agencies, Antara reported on Monday.

The reshuffle includes officers stationed at military headquarters, the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), the National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN), the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), government ministries, and the University of Defense.
