The Commander of Army Strategic Reserve Command (Indonesian: Panglima Komando Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat; abbreviated as Pangkostrad) is the highest position of Army Strategic Reserve Command or Kostrad. Kostrad falls under the army chief of staff for training, personnel, and administration.[1]

Many of its commanders have become very senior Indonesian leaders including Suharto, who became President; Rudini, who became Minister of Home Affairs; Wirahadikusumah, who would later become Vice-president; Ryamizard Ryacudu, who would become Chief of Staff of the Army and Minister of Defence; and numerous commanders who would later become Chief of Staff of the Army and later on as Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces.
