The State of Indonesia at its inception did not have any unity of soldiers.

On January 7, 1946, the People's Security Army renamed the People's Salvation Army. Then on January 26, 1946, changed again into the Army of the Republic of Indonesia (TRI). Because at that time in Indonesia there were other armed ranks beside the Army of the Republic of Indonesia, then on May 15, 1947, President Soekarno issued a decision to unite the Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia with other armed forces units into the Indonesian National Military (TNI). The unification took place and was annpunced on 3 June 1947.
