English By Ralph Jennings Share on Facebook Print this page TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Indonesia’s plan to site its naval combat squad headquarters on a tiny outpost far from Jakarta shows a commitment to push back against Chinese vessels that pass offshore as part of a festering maritime sovereignty dispute, analysts in the region say. The squad s Jakarta headquarters will rebase in the Natuna islands, at a date not yet announced, so the navy can respond more quickly to incidents at sea, Indonesia’s navy chief of staff was quoted saying Nov. 23 by Radio Free Asia. That squad enforces maritime sovereignty, including Indonesia s claims in the adjacent Natuna Sea, where Chinese coast guard vessels and fishing fleets periodically pass rankling leaders in Jakarta. The squad commander could “directly lead the battleships in the combat force there,” naval chief of staff Yudo Margono was quoted saying.
