Indonesian Women's Army Corps

Women's Army Corpsor in short (Kowad) The formation of'  Army Women's Corps  was inspired by the results of the struggles of the Indonesia Women's Heroes who participated in upholding independence Indonesia and the efforts of the predecessors to make progress for women. For this reason, year 1959 Assistant 3 personnel Kasad Colonel Dr. Sumarno conveyed his ideas about the use of power military women for certain fields of assignment that required precision, perseverance, patience, and maternal qualities that became the nature of women to better achieve organizational affiliation. As the realization of the formation of the Kowad was issued Letter Decree of the Pangad No.1056 / 12/1960 dated 21 December 1960, the Army Women's Corps was born. Although Kowad was legalized on December 21 1960, but Day Kowad was set on December 22. This determination was intended because on December 22 1938 the Congress held the First Woman known as Mother's Day, because Mother's Day was an honor for Indonesia mothers as mothers family, mother community and mother of the nation, the birth of Kowad is expected to be the pride of mothers.
