The Indonesian Army is increasing its CW capability in response to both
the acquisition of chemical capabilities by neighboring states and to concern
over CW and toxin use in Laos and Cambodia. The Indonesians are establishing a
new CW training laboratory near Bogor, West Java, with equipment to be provided
by the Japanese. They are also purchasing CW protective equipment and
increasing training for nonchemical corps specialists down to the district
level. We expect continued movement towards enhancing the operational
readiness of the Army to face a CW threat. We do not believe it likely,
however, that Indonesia will attempt to produce chemical warfare agents in the
near term.
