YAHUKIMO - One of the military units under the command of the Indonesian Armed Forces Operational Command HABEMA, the Task Forces of the Infantry Battalion 6 Marines, is currently conducting mobile security at the border of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, especially in the Yahukimo Regency area, Papua Pegunungan Province. On Friday, 4 October 2024, the Marines Task Forces, especially the Halabok Post led by Captain Septian, held a Territorial activity entitled "Papua Terang (Bright Papua)." This program is an implementation of installing solar cell lamps in residential areas and on public roads in the Sokamu Village, Dekai District.

In response, the Halabok Post has been actively observing and addressing the developments in its area since the beginning of its duties. Recognizing that lighting public places, especially roads and yards where residents live, is a basic necessity for the Sokamu community to facilitate activities at night, Captain Septian led his Soldiers to install solar cell lamps as public lighting facilities. Prior to this, 1LT Captain Septian discussed the location and need for the lighting installation with the Sokamu Village Leaders and Community Figures.
