Battle context
The Battles of Mount Pamaton represented a significant confrontation between the Sultanate of Banjar and Dutch colonial forces during the Banjarmasin War, fought on Pamaton mountain in Borneo. The engagement involved two separate fierce actions at the same location, indicating that control of the mountain was contested enough to require repeated fighting. With Hidayatullah II commanding a Banjar force of 5,400, the battles reflect the scale of organized resistance the sultanate was capable of fielding during this phase of the war against Dutch expansion in Borneo.
