JAKARTA (Reuters) - Wearing military fatigues and black combat boots, the newly-appointed cabinet of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto began a mountain retreat on Friday, in an unconventional bond-building exercise involving more than 100 members of his new government.

Ministers and their deputies donned caps and camouflage outfits and stood in salute at a parade ground of a military academy in Central Java province to hear briefings from Prabowo, a former special forces commander who was sworn-in as Indonesia's eighth president on Sunday.
