The Indonesian Army Adjutant General's Corps (Direktorat Ajudan Jenderal Angkatan Darat) is a Service Support Directorate General of the Indonesian Army responsible for many of its general administrative services and recruitment work.

History
The Army AGC was officially established on December 10, 1949, under the young independent government of the United States of Indonesia, functioning as a directly reporting unit of the office of the Chief of Staff of the Army per Decree 126/MOD/1949 of the Ministry of Defense. Until recognition of independence, various activities and organizational institutions were already performing the duties of the military adjutancy general during the National Revolution within the Army even though it is very simple, not integrated, and not even centralized at the national level but in regional formations. Decree 126 formally established the office and duties of the adjutancy general of the Army for operations of nationwide scale in support of the missions assigned to the force.

At its formal beginnings it was then the A Staff Office under the office of the Chief of Staff. It was responsible for the formal organization of the Army's administrative services, recruitment, retention and the maintenance of military cemeteries within the country.

Its Corps Day is marked on December 28, the anniversary of Decree TAP 300/ KSAD/PNT/50 of the Chief of Staff of the Army enacted in 1950, which established the current day Directorate of the Adjutant General's Corps, and also enacted measures to implement the Army's Central Registration Number system applying lessons made during the National Revolution period.
