TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto reported to the President. A number of TNI leaders were also present, ranging from the head of the armed forces staff, the commander of the main command, to the commander of the battalion-level unit.

This meeting is not only a military ceremony. The presence of commanders from various regions shows the importance of aligning command directions in the TNI, especially for units that are directly faced with dynamics in the field.

The event was opened with the national anthem Indonesia Raya. The participants also sang the Mars TNI and the mars of each matra. Previously, Prabowo's arrival was greeted with the struggle songs "Maju Tak Gentar" and "Garuda Pancasila".

A number of ministers, deputy ministers, and ministerial-level officials were also present. Their presence shows that the issue of defense is not standing alone, but is intertwined with the wider work of the government.

The activity was closed with a lunch with the President. In military tradition, moments like this are not just about eating together. It is a way to keep command distance close without reducing discipline.
