There are future plans to expand the Indonesian Marine Corps to become an independent, uniformed force. It is commanded by a two star marine general (note that it does not use the Admiral title). It has two divisions, which are:
- Pasukan Marinir I / "PASMAR I" (Marine Force I) based in Jakarta for operations in the western fleet of Indonesia

Now it still forms as one of the biggest corps within the Indonesian Armed Forces especially the Navy and usually deploys troops to LON Peacekeeping missions abroad with other service branches of the Indonesian Armed Forces.
