The Legiun Pakualaman (Pakualaman's Legion) was an army corps of the Pakualaman princely state of Yogyakarta, formed in 1813 during the reign of Paku Alam I. The force was initially formed not only as a symbol of pride for the newly formed state, but also as a reserve force for the British, and later also the Dutch, colonial governments. After 48 years passed, in 1940 a second Legiun Pakualaman was formed, which served as a guarding army of the Pakualaman palace, but it was disbanded again in 1942 as the Dutch East Indies surrendered to the Japanese colonial government.
