Seems the announcement and photo op of a few monhts ago was somewhat premature...US State Dept is yet to approve gifting/sale of C-130Hs to Indons, and it is likely certain 'mods' will be required first.

Also, ~6 of the Hercs are currently unflyable and will need a DM before leaving RIC...who will perform this work?

Only the fate of one of the airframes (011 to RAAF Museum) has been decided so far, the rest are still in limbo.
