Commander of the 323 Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Tri Wiratno, left a message to the Soldiers who would conduct the patrol on Wednesday. The message was that every Soldier should use their assignment for positive things, not just tend to do it as a routine. The message was immediately answered with the initiative and creativity of the Soldiers in conducting the patrol by performing Social Communication and distributing free clothes to the children they met along the patrol route. This Social Communication aims to foster trust and cooperation between the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) and the local community to support the Indonesian Government’s program of accelerating the development of the Papua region.

While maintaining the security aspect of the Patrol, the Soldiers extended a warm invitation to the residents they met, fostering a sense of community. The Ambobera residents, particularly the children and their parents, were overjoyed at the distribution of free clothes. Feeling like they were being treated as close relatives, a Papuan mother, Maria Otimuka, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the free clothes for our children, Commander 323. God bless".
