General Gatot Soebroto (Enhanced Spelling: Gatot Subroto, 10 October 1907 – 11 June 1962) was an Indonesian general who began his military career with the Royal Dutch East Indies Army (KNIL) and rose to be deputy Army chief-of-staff.

Early life
Soebroto was born in Purwokerto, Central Java. He began his education at a Europeesche Lagere School, an elementary school for the children of Europeans, but was expelled for fighting with the Dutch children. He then moved to a Hollandsch-Inlandsche School for Indonesians. He did not continue his education after graduating from this elementary school but instead found a job. However, he was dissatisfied and decided on a military career.

Pre-independence military career
In 1923, Gatot enrolled in a military school in Magelang. After graduating, he joined the Royal Dutch East Indies Army (KNIL) and rose to the rank of sergeant. In 1942, the Japanese invaded the Dutch East Indies, and Gatot joined the Pembela Tanah Air (PETA), a volunteer army set up by the Japanese in case of invasion by the Allies. He received training in Bogor, and was appointed commander of a company in Banyumas, then a battalion commander.

Gatot was one of the group of ex-KNIL NCOs, which included future president Soeharto and future army chief of staff Ahmad Yani who joined the BKR (People's Security Agency), the forerunner of the Indonesian Army as soon as it was set up[4] after the Indonesian Declaration of Independence on 17 August 1945. On 5 October 1946, he was appointed commander of the II/Gunung Jati Division in Central Java. On 31 May 1948, he became commander of the Military Police and later that year Military Governor of the Surakarta-Semarang-Pati-Madiun region. He was involved in the suppression of the 1948 Madiun Revolt. In July 1949, he went to Yogyakarta shortly after Army commander Soedirman's return to the city, which at the time was the capital. There he was sick and had to be treated at the Panti Rapih Hospital.
