| The Indonesian Marines also have a far better reputation than Kompassus, and are more 'respected' by the Indonesian public.
During the Jarkata Riots, the deployment of Marines greatly contributed to an easing of tension. Basically, Kompassus units were rather 'lacklustre' in stopping the rioting and damage, but the Marines were seen to be more disciplined.
Kompassus are good light infantry, but I'm suspect of their training standards, especially in terms of military discipline. I don't think that they are the best in South East Asia as Special Forces.
For example, Singapore's commandoes are very well trained, and a select few have taken the US Navy SEAL course and come in first. Then there's the Thai Rangers, which are really scary guys...
