The 11th Squadron "Amur Amara Jaya" Army Aviation Center (Indonesian: Skadron 11/AAJ Puspenerbad) is an army aviation squadron of the Indonesian Army located at Ahmad Yani Army Aviation Base in Semarang.

History

In 1970, the Army Aviation Center (Puspenerbad) was placed under the Army’s Training and Education Development Command (Kobangdiklat TNI AD) based on the Army Chief of Staff's Decree Number Kep/687/12/1970 dated December 7, 1970. The decree stipulated that the main duties of Puspenerbad focused on research and development, education development, training development, and the development of Army Aviation functions. Meanwhile, aviation operations were carried out by the Army Aviation Unit (Satpenerbad), which was directly under the authority of the Army Chief of Staff. Satpenerbad was officially established based on the Army Chief of Staff's Decree Number Kep/238/VI/1972 dated June 8, 1972.

In 1985, the issuance of the Army Chief of Staff’s Decree No. Kep/27/V/1985 concerning the organization and duties of the Army Aviation Service (Dispenerbad), along with the personnel and equipment structure, led to the change in status of Puspenerbad and Satpenerbad into Dispenerbad. The Dispenerbad organization operated for 15 years as an executing body at the Army Headquarters (Mabesad) level, directly under the Army Chief of Staff. Dispenerbad had several operational units, including Squadron-1, which was equipped with assault helicopters and attack helicopters, its organization and duties were defined by the Army Chief of Staff’s Decree No. Kep/80/XI/1985 dated November 13, 1985, and it later became the forerunner of 11th Squadron. There was also Squadron-2, which operated fixed-wing aircraft and multi-purpose helicopters and became the precursor of 21st Squadron.
