President Yudhoyono hopes smart power to become TNI`s strategy
Thu, July 3 2014 23:14 | 585 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono stated that the Indonesian military (TNI)s future strategy must combine hard power and soft power into smart power.

"Smart power must become the TNIs future strategy," the president said a moment before breaking the fast along with soldiers and civil servants of the TNI Headquarters here on Thursday.

Indonesia is a peace-loving country and not aggressive, he said.

"We love peace, and more importantly, we love our sovereignty. We do not want war, but we are ready to fight for the sovereignty of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia," he affirmed.

The head of state expressed hope that the TNI will acquire the confidence to play a role in the international forum but remain modest in the community.

"The TNI must be respected by enemies and loved by the people. The combination will become a solid force that the nation may rely on," he said.

To that end, the TNI soldiers must continue to exercise, prepare, fight, and perform duties in order to be triumphant and glorious in the future, he said.

"Soldiers will not fight and die unless they know why they fight and die," he added.(*)

Kostrad

Kostrad (Komando Cadangan Strategis Angkatan Darat: "Army Strategic Reserve Command") is the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve Command. Kostrad is a Corps level command which has up to 35,000 troops. It also supervises operational readiness among all commands and conducts defense and security operations at the strategic level in accordance with policies of the TNI commander.

As a corps, Kostrad is commanded by a Panglima (Commander-in-Chief), usually a lieutenant general. Kostrad falls under the army chief of staff for training, personnel, and administration.[2] However, it comes under the Commander-in-Chief of the Indonesian National Armed Forces for operational command and deployment. Kostrad typically receives best equipments in the Army and its two armored battalions will soon receive Leopard 2A4 and Leopard 2 Revolution tanks.

Starting 1984 the Panglima of Kostrad (Pangkostrad) has been charged to lead the conduct of combat operations, called defense and security operations.

History
Kostrad came into being during military action for Indonesia's take over of Western New Guinea in 1960, and was formally constituted on 6 March 1961.[3] Initially designated the Army General Reserve Corps, its name was changed to Kostrad in 1963.

General Suharto, was appointed as the first head of Kostrad in 1961, and it was in this role that he was able assert the army's control in the days following the abortive coup attempt on the evening of 30 September 1965, which ultimately led to Suharto replacing Sukarno as Indonesian president.

The command's troops have fought in most Indonesian military operations since their formation, such as G-30-S/PKI (30 September Movement/Indonesian Communist Party), Trisula, the PGRS (Sarawak People's Guerrilla Force) in Sarawak, the PARAKU (North Kalimantan People's Force) in North Kalimantan, and Operation Seroja in East Timor.

Kostrad troops have also been used beyond Indonesia's borders, as was the case with Garuda Contingent in Egypt (1973–78) and Vietnam (1973–75) and with those in the United Nations Iran–Iraq Military Observer Group in the midst of the Iran–Iraq War of 1989 and 1990.

KOPASSUS/ ARMY SPECIAL FORCE

The Special Forces Command (KOPASSUS), formerly called the Sandi Yudha Forces Command and KOPASSANDHA (which also means Special Forces Command), are trained in intelligence gathering, a variety of special operations techniques, sabotage, and airborne and seaborne landings. Founded on 16 April 1952, KOPASSUS was reorganized and reduced in size in 1985, and by 1992 KOPASSUS forces numbered some 2,500 army personnel identifiable by their distinctive red berets organized into two operational groups and one training group.

By the late 1990s KOPASSUS numbered some 6,000-strong, an increase in the number of troops, but below that of 1985. Headquarters at Cijantung, East Jakarta, KOPASSUS had expanded to five Groups, with Group IV specifically handling intelligence operations along with the KOPASSUS Joint Intelligence Unit [SGI].

In year 2001, Kopassus reorganizes its personnels into some 5,000-strong forces. The new organization is as follows:

• Group 1 Para Commando (Taktakan, Serang, Banten) with 3 batallions
• Group 2 Para Commando (Kandang Menjangan, Kartasura, Solo) with 3 batallions
• Group 3 Intelligence (Cijantung, Jakarta)
• (1) Para Commando batallions (independent) (Semplak, Bogor)
• (1) HQ Detachment (Cijantung, Jakarta)
• (1) Unit-81 Anti-Terrorists (Cijantung, Jakarta)
• Pusdikpassus / Special Forces Training Center (Batujajar, Bandung)

KOPASSUS is considered to be an elite force that has traditionally emphasized its small size and its quick-strike potential. It has been involved in numerous military actions in response to internal Indonesian unrest. KOPASSUS units were involved in 1981 in freeing the hostages from the "Woyla," the Garuda Airline plane hijacked by followers of Imran, leader of an Islamic splinter movement in West Java. KOPASSUS members climbed Mount Everest in 1997.

KOPASSUS

Wiki version

Kopassus (a portmanteau of "Komando Pasukan Khusus" or "Special Forces Command") is an Indonesian Army special forces group that conducts special operations missions for the Indonesian government, such as direct action, unconventional warfare, sabotage, counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, and intelligence gathering. Kopassus was founded on April 16, 1952. It gained worldwide attention after several successful operations such as Indonesian invasion of East Timor and hostage release of Garuda Indonesia Flight 206.

The Special Forces quickly made their mark by spearheading some of the government's military campaigns: putting down regional rebellions in the late 1950s, the Western New Guinea campaign in 1961-1962, the confrontation with Malaysia from 1962–1966, the massacres of alleged communists in 1965, the East Timor invasion in 1975, and the subsequent campaigns against separatists throughout Indonesia.

Indonesian Marine Corps

The Indonesian Marine Corps (Indonesian: Korps Marinir, KorMar) is the Indonesian Navy's ground troops. It was created on 15 November 1945, and is the country's main amphibious warfare force and quick reaction force against enemy invasion.
History
Kormar has been active in various military operations in Indonesia. One of the largest amphibious military operations would have been Operation Jayawijaya in which thousands of marines were planned to land on Biak in 1963 as a part of the Trikora Campaign to take West Irian from Dutch control. The operation was aborted as a consequence deals preceding the New York Agreement.[1]

In 1999 a plan was proposed to expand the Kormar from its strength of 13,000 troops. Based on this plan, every Kormar's base would have three combat brigades: the Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery and would be supported by one Combat Support Regiment and one Administration Support Regiment. The expansion will create three Kormar bases: Surabaya for Eastern area command, Jakarta for Central area command, and Rate Island in Lampung for Western area command. Now the Indonesian Marine Corps has an estimated 29,000 troops in two Marine Forces (PASMARs) and one independent infantry marine regiment, when combined equal to one over-strength infantry division, which includes its own sizable mechanized amphibious and artillery units.

Following a reorganisation introduced in March 2001, the corps consisted of the 1st Marine Corps Group (1,3,5 Battalions) at Surabaya, and the Independent Marine Corps Brigade (2,4,6, Battalions) at Jakarta.(JDW 11 April 2001). The 8th Bn was formed in January 2004 and the 9th Bn was due to be formed in April 2004. They were planned to be part of a new group that would include the 7th Bn and support elements. (JDW 18 February 2004, p. 18) The same Jane's Defence Weekly story (Robert Karniol, 'Indonesia Reinforces Marines') said the Marine Corps leadership is reported to have ambitions for the service to expand to at least two full divisions. However it was reported that the army was opposed, 'perhaps reflecting it's leadership's concern over influence.'

(PT PAL is planning to start designing national frigate in 2017 and submarine in 2022)

Dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan Alutsista matra laut Angkatan Laut, PT PAL Indonesia memiliki rencana Program menengah 5 tahun dan Jangka Panjang 25 tahun. Hal tersebut disebutkan dalam lokakarya rencana induk pemenuhan ALPAHANKAM pertengahan April lalu di Kementerian Pertahanan.


Direktur Utama PT PAL Muhammad Firmansyah Arifin

Dalam program jangka menengah 5 tahun, PT PAL akan dapat menciptakan sendiri desain frigate nasional pada 2017, sementara program jangka panjang 25 tahun, persero ini akan menciptakan desain kapal selam di tahun 2022.

Proses pengadaan kapal perang untuk TNI-AL yang sesuai kebutuhan dan kondisi geografi indonesia, PT PAL Indonesia sering melaksankan kerja sama dengan galangan kapal asing, seperti DSNS Belanda dalam produksi bersama kapal PKR 105m frigate class. Kerja sama itu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan pengetahuan teknologi yang sering disebut dengan transfer of technology.

Ditegaskan pula bahwa PT PAL Indonesia sebagai Industri pertahanan dan Lead Integrator mempunyai tuntutan untuk dapat menguasai teknologi platform dan combat management system, terutama penguasaan konfigurasi sistem persenjataan dan integrasinya.

Dalam pembangunannya, kapal perang tidak dapat disamakan dengan pembangunan kapal komersial. Perbedaannya terletak pada desain platform kapal yang harus dapat memenuhi requirement meletakan persenjataan dalam hull desainnya.

Selain itu, dalam membuat desain platform kapal perang harus melihat pula beberapa pertimbangan kemampuan kapal untuk tetap dapat bertahan dalam kondisi di luar normal, seperti efek persenjataan musuh, serangan atas air, pengaruh internal dan eksternal blast, underwater explotions, shock, serta sisa tegangan saat penembakan rudal dari kapal.

Dewasa ini, dalam pembangunan kapal perang yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan, banyak kapal perang yang dapat dikembangkan persenjataannya dalam artian plug and play. Bukan hanya itu, kapal-kapal perang tersebut meningkatkan kemampuan stealth guna mengurangi deteksi radar.

Tidak hanya pada sisitem persenjataan dan sistem stealth, melainkan juga meningkatkan kecepatan kapal dengan kemampuan mencapai 40 knots. Hal tersebut mendukung tactical advantages, namun maintenance lebih terhadap kapal yang memiliki kecepatan tinggi ini sering dilakukan pada hull akibat flamming response dan fatigue strength atau kelelahan material karena guncangan pada struktur kapal yang dilaju pada kecepatan maksimal.

Dengan kata lain, galangan kapal industri pertahanan harus mampu membuat konfigurasi sistem persenjataan yang dimaknai dengan seluruh sistem persenjataan yang terpasang di kapal sangat terkait hull perfomance kapal. (JurnalMaritim)

Lagi nggak enak nulis pake bahasa Inggris, entah kenapa grammar saya makin hari makin kaco aja.

Info-diatas secara garis besar memang benar, tapi ada beberapa info yang nggak ke up-date disana,

1. Setiap armada akan selalu memiliki Pasmar mereka sendiri, TNI AL dalam rencana jangka menengahnya akan membangun empat armada, jadi Marinir akan memiliki empat divisi dengan jumlah combatant diatas 60.000 personnel.
2. AD sudah tidak lagi bersaing dalam hal politik dengan AL, tapi mereka akan lebih bersaing untuk memperebutkan resources/anggaran, dan mereka sudah tidak punya lagi alasan untuk menentang ekspansi AL sejak kasus sengketa Ambalat dan LCS yang menuntut penguatan formasi AL dan AU.
3. Jumlah Marinir TNI AL jelas sudah diatas 29000 personnel, infantry regiment-nya untuk PasMar ke tiga sudah berjalan dan sudah memiliki beberapa Yon tambahan, salah satunya yang baru diresmikan di Batam
4. Permasalahan PasMar TNI AL yang paling urgent adalah kekurangan anggaran untuk modernisasi alutsistanya, sebagian besar anggaran AL akan jatuh pada pengembangan armada, setidaknya sampai 15 tahun kedepan PasMar akan selalu underfunded.

Kita dukung mbak...utk penguatan Marinir. Ini juga bagus utk stabilitas politik masa depan Indonesia. USA sebagai contoh memiliki pasukan marinir dan Garda Republik yg lumayan, dan bahkan pasukan Garda Republik USA memiliki banyak pesawat tempur F-16. Iran juga memiliki pasukan garda yg mungkin melebihi kekuatan pasukan regularnya. Kekuatan militer tidak boleh terpusat pada kendali satu komando saja.

Terus terang mbak Madokaft vocabnya udah bagus sekali, kalah saya, tapi utk grammar tolong di cek bagian "gerund" nya deh..he.he

Sepertinya mbak ini bekerja di bidang advokasi strategi militer yah.....

One Pasmar is for each Armada, one armada will be based in Jakarta, one in Surabaya, one in Makassar and last in Sorong.


but still it is a long term goal and objective, any change can be happened in near future
