The Ministry Of Human Rights Ensures That Komcad Is Back In The Middle Of The Community Still Gets Guidance

JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Ministry of Defense Major General (Mayjen) TNI Tri Budi Utomo said that the reserve component (komcad) will continue to receive guidance after returning to the community.

"Komcad yang telah ditetapkan dan kembali di tengah masyarakat tatap mendapat pembinaan lebih lanjut," jelas Tri Budi Utomo di Kota Balikpapan, Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, Kamis.

Hundreds of Komcad Matra Darat Military Regional Command (Kodam) VI/Mulawarman have been set, the first wave in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province and the second wave in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan Province.

Before being determined, the Komcads were first given training and education for two months, he said, at the VI/Mulawarman Main Regiment of Kodam (Rindam) in Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan Province.

"Komcad juga dapat pembinaan setelah melakukan kegiatan di lingkungan masyarakat, bukan saja pendidikan dan pelatihan di Rindam itu," tambahnya.

The guidance is carried out once a year under the main components of the Matra Darat Kodam VI/Mulawarman, which is carried out in stages up to the age of 48 years.

Then coaching is carried out at least 12 days or maximum coaching is carried out for 90 days.

"The guidance is regulated so that Komcads continue to carry out training and military administration activities, so they don't forget what they got during training and education," he said.

Nevertheless, he continued, Komcad was not involved in securing regional head elections or the 2024 regional elections, because the TNI/Polri were able to handle the security of the simultaneous regional elections which were held on November 27, 2024.

"We make sure the regional elections run safely, and Komcad is not involved in election security activities," he said again.

However, if there is a direct order from the head of state with the approval of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), it is possible that Komcad will be involved in securing the elections with direct guidance and control from the TNI Commander, said Tri Budi Utomo, who is also the Commander of the VI/Mulawarman Military Command (Pangdam).
