Formerly, the command was known as Kodam VII/Wirabuana (formerly also T&T VII/Wirabuana) from 1950 to 1957 and from 1985 until it was renamed in 2017. Given its long history the 14th MDC is the oldest military district in eastern Indonesia. It obtained its current name partly as part of the Indonesian Army response to the Permesta rebellion by select Army officers in 1957, when the 7th Territorial Army was split into several military regions, one of these named after Sultan Hasanuddin of Gowa, a National Hero of Indonesia for his efforts against the Netherlands military conquest of the Sultanate of Gowa.
