He was relieved of his command and ordered to the Army Staff and Command School in Bandung, West Java. Suharto changed allegiances several times, from the Dutch to the Japanese and then to the Indonesian Nationalists but his training enabled him to become an asset to the side he finally settled upon, that of the Indonesian Nationalists. As the commander of the Third Regiment, Suharto began to distinguish himself in military circles following his March 1, 1949 surprise attack on the Dutch, when troops under his command recaptured Yogyakarta.
Everyone revered him. Suharto liked to visit a sacred cave on Java's Dieng plateau, the spiritual home of Semar, the infamous Javanese buffoon-god, and meditate there.

Marilyn Berger wrote in the New York Times: “Suharto seemed imbued with Indonesian traditions of animism and mysticism overlaid with Hindu and Buddhist teachings.
However, these attacks were largely ineffective and were often comparable to suicide.
It earned Suharto the respect of his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Sunarto Kusumodirjo, who invited him to draft the working guidelines for the Battle Leadership Headquarters (MPP), a body created to organize and unify the command structure of the Indonesian Nationalist forces.[10]
The military forces of the still infant Republic of Indonesia were constantly restructuring.

Suharto's Character
Suharto had a gentle, calm demeanor and some called him the "smiling general." He read speeches in a flat, even tone and never displayed any emotion. ISBN 9780006357216.
He was buried alongside his late wife in a state military funeral with full honors, with the Kopassus elite forces and Kostrad commandos as the honor guard and pallbearers and Commander of Group II Kopassus Surakarta Lt. Colonel Asep Subarkah. Prices for commodities such as kerosene and rice, and fees for public services including education rose dramatically.
When he first became President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soeharto did not yet have a vice president. Short and thick set, he almost invariably dressed in a Western business suit or a safari jacket once he gave up his military uniform, and a black songkok, the flat traditional Indonesian cap. His family consented to the removal of life support machines, and he died on January 27 at 1:10 P.M. local time.[66]
Suharto's body was taken from Jakarta to the Giri Bangun mausoleum complex, part of the Mangkunegaran burial site in Karanganyar, near the Central Java city of Solo.
A deal was eventually made with the military to allow Megawati's supporters to take over PDI headquarters in Jakarta, in exchange for a pledge of no further demonstrations. Progress and turmoil Under the Suharto government, the number of Indonesians living in absolute poverty dropped from 60 percent to 14 percent between 1970 and 1990.
On May 6, 2005, Suharto was taken to Pertamina Hospital in Jakarta with intestinal bleeding, believed to be from diverticulosis.
Sukarno's obedience to Suharto's October 1 ultimatum to leave Halim is seen as changing all power relationships.[26] Sukarno's fragile balance of power between the military, political Islam, communists, and nationalists that underlay his "Guided Democracy" was now collapsing.[27]
In early October, a military propaganda campaign began to sweep the country, successfully convincing both Indonesian and international audiences that it was a Communist coup, and that the murders were cowardly atrocities against Indonesian heroes.[28] The PKI's denials of involvement had little effect.[29] The army led campaign to purge Indonesian society, government and armed forces of the communist party and other leftist organizations.
