He is a true warrior of the Para Commando with capabilities in the areas of Sandi Yudha, the combat intelligence operations in line behind opponents in 1969-1972 in the jungles of West Kalimantan-Sarawak.

"This is us (TNI) North Kalimantan National Army train and PGRS in Surabaya, Bogor, and Bandung. Finally, after the change of government, President Soeharto decided to make peace with the Malaysian and asked the militants lay down their arms. Because PGRS not give up, we as teachers should be forced to confront students with the fighting in the jungles of Borneo, "said Hendropriyono.

In the early 1960s, with the Old Order regime of President Macapagal of the Philippines questioned the formation of Malaysia are considered as players neocolonialism England. Macapagal had proposed the establishment of Maphilindo, a kind of federation of Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, which has a Malay cultural similarities. Sukarno is much more progressive and choose direct confrontation in an unofficial war against the Malaysian and British Commonwealth (British Commonwealth).

The unofficial war was fierce, especially in the Borneo jungle of West Kalimantan border with Sarawak-East Kalimantan and Sabah. The rigors of the battle can be found in various war artifacts and finding the bodies in the jungles of Borneo. Several years ago, for example, Colonel Fred Dangar of military missions Australian Embassy in Jakarta with TNI headquarters have identified skeletal remains of two Australian soldiers, including an army of them members of the elite Special Air Service Regiment.

This is done in order to more easily gain the sympathy of the public to associate with the Chinese communist People's Republic of China. In contrast, on the part of Malaysia which was at peace with Indonesia, the rebels stamped "CT" (communist terrorists).

Sandi Yudha main task forces in unconventional warfare, according Hendropriyono, is not bound by international conventions and humanitarian laws of war. As much as possible it took care opponents, while fighting as well as the crackdown only be a last resort.

When conquering Hassan, a commander PGRS, Hendropriyono had to shoot and slam opponents with martial movements. On-one melee battle that resulted in his thigh pierced by bayonets and tear fingers for holding bayonet pierced his chest almost Hassan.

Sandi Yudha Hendropriyono led the unit with eight members who are always engaged in small quantities in line behind the opponent. When approaching the hut Hassan settles that lasted all night, one member Sandi Yudha should kill with a bayonet armed guard shack fire. All to do with the silent and full of surprises (element of surprise).

In addition to fighting, troops Hendropriyono and Sandi Yudha also repeatedly managed to make enemies so sympathetic to the Republic of Indonesia. If forced, kidnapping and interrogation conducted in the field.
