Kodam V/Brawijaya, is a military area command of the Indonesian Army, as the 5th (Roman numeral "V") Kodam, which oversees the entire East Java Province. It traces its history to the first formation of the East Java Division in 1948.

History
Based on the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia decision numbered A/532/48, on 25 October 1948, three Divisions of East Java, which are 5th Division / Ronggolawe, 6th Division / Narotama and 7th Division / Suropati, formed into the Indonesian Army East Java Division. The Indonesian Army East Java Division was conducted in the Kuwak field, Kediri, by Colonel Abdul Haris Nasution.
 * Establishment of Indonesian Army East Java Division

On 17 December 1951, coinciding with the 3rd anniversary of East Java Division, 1st Division / Brawijaya is founded, as replacement of East Java Division. Brawijaya is a dynasty of the Majapahit Kingdom, that has been successfully integrated into the archipelago and made Majapahit into a powerful kingdom. The prefix "Bra-" or "Bhre-" in the name "Brawijaya" means "Great" and is a title of honor given to a young prince named Wijaya, a founder of Majapahit Kingdom.
 * Establishment of 1st Division / Brawijaya

Based on the Army Chief of Staff numbered 2/KS/Instr/52, dated 5 January 1952, 1st Division / Brawijaya was changed into 5th Territorial Army / Brawijaya (TT V/Brawijaya), based on the division of the Indonesian military territory into 7 Territorial Army.
 * 1st Division / Brawijaya become 5th Territorial Army / Brawijaya

Based on Army Chief of Staff decision numbered Kpts/952/10/1959, the 5th Territorial Army / Brawijaya was changed into Kodam VIII / Brawijaya based on the change in division of the Indonesian Military territory, from 7 Territorial Army groups to be 17 Kodam groups.
 * 5th Territorial Army / Brawijaya become Kodam VIII / Brawijaya

Based on Army Chief of Staff decision numbered Kep/4/1985, dated 12 January 1985, Kodam VIII / Brawijaya was changed into Kodam V / Brawijaya. This change is due to reorganization of the Indonesian Army, on the principles of "A Small Effective Unit" so that the 17 Kodam groups are rearranged back to 10 Kodam groups.
