The establishment of elite corps Marsose as a special force is still considered not enough by senior Dutch military officials. The Dutch officers re-formed a unit within the Marsose army named Kolone Macan. Kolone Macan was also led by officers from Europeans. One of them is a Swiss officer named Hans Christofell.
He was greatly admired by the Dutch for contributing to the government in the war in northern Sumatra. He formed a new special force again, its members were elected members of Marsose.
Christofell gathered a ferocious and clever Martial member of Marsose. These troops are called** Kolone Macan. **These troops are specially trained by Christoffel in Garnisun Cimahi.

Especified Marsose Force to Lam Meulo-Tangse-Geumpang
After practicing for a long time, the Marsose were reassigned to Aceh to quell the Aceh fighters.
During the Cimahi barrage, the Marsose was also given the theory of warfare, but it was less responded by the marsose generally low-educated. They do not tend to need no theory in warfare, but direct combat. The marsose exercise is not just firing a shotgun, but they are trained to play the swords, swords, rencongs and other traditional weapons.
Christoffel took some brigade commanders who usually rank the best sergeant in the Marsose corps. These troops are from 12 trained marsose brigades. The front row of troops** Kolene Tiger** is the Marsose trace.
This troop corps works more cruel than Marsose before. They do the execution on the spot. A Marsose commander ** Schriwanek himself mentions that this troop is a troop CRAZY Although he is also quite rough, but he saw the work** Kolone Tiger, perceived by officers that, really outrageous example, do Sweeping. They clean up the guerrilla movement of the people's resistance cruelly, a job they do with a short and complete.
The strong reaction to the work Kolone Macan also emerged from the Dutch military itself. The battle they carried out in Aceh was outrageous. This reaction came from a Dutch officer who was not a background of mercenaries.
Finally the command over the Aceh region was changed from van Daalen to Swart. With this change of command, the cruel workings of troopers** Kolone Macan are slowly eliminated. The troops once trained and led by Christoffel were then transferred to the command on van der Vlerk.
This new commander was a hateful Dutch officer Van Daalen and Christoffel, began to change the character of the Colonies Tigers to be better and not as cruel as they used to be.
The Kolone Tiger Corps is the cruelest part of the corps named Marsose and only plunges in the Aceh front only. The Dutch Colonial Government under the command of Van der Vlerk apparently did not want an army of organized executioners.
Yet no matter how resistance to colonial policy can not be guessed when it happens, and this is the reason why Marsose continues to be maintained even though his role has diminished. The Marsose army corps did not sound as great as Japan landed in Indonesia.
