The Military Sealift Command (Indonesian: Komando Lintas Laut Militer), is an organization that controls the replenishment and military transport ships of the Indonesian Navy. Military Sealift Command has the responsibility for providing sealift and ocean transportation for all Indonesian military services as well as for other government agencies. It first came into existence on 1 July 1961 when the Naval Transport Department (Djawatan Angkutan Laut Militer / Dalmil) was established as the sole service responsible for the Ministry of Defense's ocean transport requirements for both peacetime and war.




History


Military Sealift Command was formed in Jakarta on 1 July 1961 under the name of the Naval Transport Department (Djawatan Angkutan Laut Militer / Dalmil) using for heavy amphibious transport purposes the Navy's newly acquired Teluk Langsa-class LSTs from the US and one Polnocny-class LST, manufactured in Poland for the service. The establishment of the Dalmil was based on considerations for the logistical interests of the Navy and the Indonesian National Armed Forces in general, including the interests of the government in the field of marine transportation.
Dalmil was renamed into the Naval Transport Command (Komando Angkutan Laut Militer / Koalmil) while it served its first combat duty: Operation Trikora in April 1962.
On 27 February 1970, the name was renamed into the Naval Transport Service (Dinas Angkutan Laut Militer / Disanglamil) in February 1970. Later that year on 4 May, it was renamend again to Military Sealift Command (Komando Lintas Laut Militer / Kolinlamil).
Starting 23 July 1971, the name of the Military Sealift Command used and confirmed as the official title based on the resolution of the office of the Minister of Defense and Security/Commander of the Armed Forces, concerning Organizational Principles and the needs of the ALRI.
In 1985, the Military Sealift Command was organized into two Sealift Forces when the National Fleet Command, upon which it supported for 24 years, was split into the Western and Eastern Fleets.
