TIG II - 2003

Not long after the Trooper Indonesia Gathering (TIG)-I and still in the same year, KTI held the TIG-II on 16-18 August 2003 where this time the event took place in the 'Kawah Putih' (White Crater), Ciwidey, Bandung. Given the success of TIG-I in last March 2003, this time the TIG-II was held by taking a moment on the Indonesian Independence Day. So, beside a family gathering, this event was also to celebrate the Independence Day by the flag-raising ceremony at edge of the crater.

This time TIG-II was attended by more than 60 people, with the details as follows:
