TNI AL Will Empower Scout Members As Regional Intelligence

JAKARTA - Chief of Naval Staff (Kasal) Admiral TNI Yudo Margono said Scout members would be empowered as defense equipment crew and intelligence personnel in the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AL) area.

"This Komcad is still recruiting. Later, of course, the Navy Komcad will be more focused on manning the defense equipment," said Yudo on the sidelines of the Opening of the 2022 National Maritime Saka Rapim, at the Cilangkap Headquarters, East Jakarta, Wednesday 22 March.

So, he continued, these komcads are more aimed at ship crews, who later if there is a war they will be able to crew the alut and the alut will also become a reserve component in war.

"So, for example, the Navy immediately took out all ships, less tankers. We can coordinate with Pertamina. All assets, all components must work together to support the implementation of martial law, for example war. So that later Komcad-Komcad will be able to manning ships that will become the Navy's reserve component in a naval war. Of course, this TNI AL reserve component is for a marine war reserve component," he explained, launching Antara.

Therefore, the recruitment of these marine reserve components must be more thorough and focused so that once this is completed they can really be used to become reserve components in carrying out naval warfare.

Not only that, said Yudo, Saka Bahari Scout personnel will also be recruited as intelligence in the area to strengthen the Indonesian Navy unit. in the area to provide data on enemy intelligence, for example like that," said Yudo.
