Members Of The House Of Representatives (DPR) Say, The Task Of The TNI Is Increasingly Maintaining The Resilience Of Pengan, Cyber And Drugs

JAKARTA - Member of Commission I of the House of Representatives (DPR) TB Hasanuddin revealed that the task of the Indonesian National Army (TNI) will increase in the TNI's Draft Law (RUU), including maintaining resilience, cyber and overcoming drug problems.

He explained that the TNI's task was included in Military Operations Apart from War (OMSP), so that the OMSP in the TNI Bill would increase to 17 from the previous 14.

"There are three additions, maintaining cyber resilience, overcoming problems, drugs, and others," said TB Hasanuddin when met on the sidelines of the TNI Bill Working Committee Meeting in Jakarta, Saturday.

He said the TNI had an obligation to assist in cyber defense, especially those in the government.

Thus, the TNI will assist the National Cyber Password Agency (BSSN) for the benefit of the nation and state.

Meanwhile, in overcoming drug trafficking, he said, the task of the TNI is to provide assistance to the Government, but not to participate in law enforcement.

"I think this will be regulated by the president's regulation as well," he said.

As for Law (UU) Number 34 of 2004 concerning the TNI, there are 14 OMSPs that are the tasks of the TNI, namely overcoming armed separatist movements, overcoming armed rebellions, overcoming acts of terrorism, securing border areas, and securing strategic national vital objects.

Then, carrying out world peace tasks in accordance with foreign political policies, securing the president and vice president and their families, empowering their defense areas and supporting strengths early in accordance with the universal defense system, assisting government tasks in the regions, and assisting the National Police in the context of security and public order tasks regulated in the law.

Another task of the TNI in OMSP is to help secure state-level guests at the level of heads of state and representatives of foreign governments who are in Indonesia, to help tackle the consequences of natural disasters, evacuations, and provision of humanitarian assistance, assist in search and assistance in accidents (search and rescue), as well as assist the government in securing shipping and aviation against piracy, piracy, and smuggling.
