The Combat Reconnaissance Platoon (Indonesian: Peleton Intai Tempur, abbreviated as Tontaipur) is an elite special unit formation of the Indonesian Army in a platoon level to conduct special reconnaissance (SR) operations. Its members are recruited from the Indonesian Army's elite Army Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad). Tontaipur is part of the Kostrad Intelligence Battalion and members report directly to the Kostrad commander. Formed on 8 August 2001 by then-Kostrad commander (later Army Chief of Staff and Minister of Defence) Ryamizard Ryacudu, the unit has been deployed in several conflicts in the Indonesian archipelago, ranging from separatist conflicts in Aceh and Papua, to counter-terrorism in Poso.^[1] Members of the Tontaipur are generally trained in reconnaissance and close combat. Aside from that, Tontaipur members are also trained for land, air and sea combat special operation, similar to other special units within the Indonesian National Armed Forces. The unit's main duties are to infiltrate enemy territory, gathering intelligence, carrying out sabotage, launching ambushes, etc.^[2]

The unit has conducted joint-training with Kopassus, another Indonesian Army special force unit, as well other special force units belonging to other branches of the Indonesian military such as Kopaska of the Indonesian Navy and Paskhas of the Indonesian Air Force.
