JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) prepares human resources (HR) who will develop information technology in the foremost, outermost, and disadvantaged (3T) regions by holding state defense for their employees. According to him, the employees who will be deployed must also have a patriotic spirit. "For this reason, they are educated and trained by the TNI AD, because the Kominfo work area overlaps with the 3T area. It includes TNI military operations," said Johhny at the TNI AD Kodiklat Pusdikhub, Cimahi City, West Java, Monday, July 18. Quoted by Antara, the state defense activity was attended by 60 employees from various directorates of the Telecommunication and Information Accessibility Agency (Bakti). The state defense activities participated by Bakti employees will be held from Monday, until August 15, 2022. They will be trained by members of the TNI from the Transportation Education Center (Pusdikhub) of the Indonesian Army. During that one month, the participants will receive material about national insight, leadership, cooperation, and outdoor materials such as cooperation to survival.

Johhny assessed that the geographical conditions in Indonesia, especially in the 3T region, pose challenges for the development of information technology. So the human resources prepared for the development, according to him, must be mentally strong. "Looking at the challenges of geography, topography, security, we need strong human resources and high physical and mental endurance," he said. State defense held by the Ministry of Communication and Information in 2022 this is the fourth time it has been conducted, and has the most participants compared to previous years. "The task of Bakti Kominfo is not an easy task.
