Development of TNI Ad Posture Innorth Natuna Sea; Perspective and Direction

Abstract

Maintaining national defense means increasing capabilities, creating deterrence for the state and nation, and dealing with every threat. Each threat has special characteristics that influence its handling pattern, so when conducting a strategic environmental analysis, matters relating to the nature, assessment of characteristics/classification, and assessment of threat tendencies must be taken into account. The main focus is evaluating threats to Indonesia's national defense interests. The Asia-Pacific is an important strategic area from economic, political and military points of view. It is important to consider the conflict in the South China Sea as well as tensions in several border areas between countries. According to Law no. 34 of 2004, the TNI's posture is a representation of the country's defense strength which is demonstrated by a combination of strength, capability and deployment of national resources. According to Puspen TNI (2007), the main, reserve and supporting components form the national defense system. As part of the Long Term Plan for Development of the National Defense System 2020–2024, the TNI AD divides the land defense area into five land dimension strategic compartments. It is hoped that the deployed TNI forces can carry out operations in their compartment areas. The TNI must strengthen its comprehensive strategy with the emergence of new provinces that may face threats. The TNI AD's defense posture must be adjusted to the current situation to protect the Republic of Indonesia's territory from danger.
