YOGYAKARTA In carrying out its duties and functions, the Indonesian National Army (TNI) is led by a high-ranking military officer. The selection of the TNI Commander is carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. This means that the Government must obey the mechanism for appointing the five TNI drivers.

The appointment of a candidate for the TNI Commander in Chief is regulated in Law no. 34 of 2004 concerning the Indonesian National Army, namely Article 13.

Mechanism of Appointment of five TNIs

The understanding of the TNI Commander as stated in Article 1 number 10 of Law no. 34 of 2004 is a high-ranking military officer who leads the TNI.

Article 13 explains that the appointment of the TNI Commander is proposed by the President. If the proposed name is approved by the House of Representatives (DPR), then a new inauguration can be made.

The President will choose one name that is taken from an active officer from the force he has ever served or is currently serving as Chief of Staff of the Forces. After that, the name that has been chosen by the President will be proposed to the DPR for approval.

Commission I of the DPR will conduct a fit and proper test which is attended by the President's candidate for the Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces. If they get approval and succeed through a fit and proper test, the results of the decision will be held at a plenary session of the DPR. In the trial, several parties, namely the KPK, PPATK, and KOMNAS HAM will also be included in the track record of the candidate for the TNI Commander.

If the candidate has been declared clean and clear, the results will be submitted to the President. This is where the inauguration of the new TNI Commander can be carried out.

The results of the DPR's approval of the name of the candidate for the TNI Commander must be submitted no later than 20 days, starting from the date the request for the candidate for Commander in Chief to the DPR is received.

However, it must be noted that the candidate for the TNI Commander proposed by the President is not necessarily accepted by the DPR. This is as explained in Article 13 paragraph 7 of Law no. 34 of 2004. The article states that the DPR has the right to reject the President's proposal. The President can propose another name as a candidate for TNI Commander.

The refusal of prospective TNI officers must be accompanied by written reasons that include the reasons for their disapproval of the proposed candidate. The DPR will also be deemed to agree with the TNI Commander's proposal if there is no answer for his disapproval of the proposed candidate.

Duties and Obligations of the TNI Commander

After the inauguration was carried out by the President, the new TNI Commander had to carry out his duties and obligations in accordance with Article 15 of Law Number 34 of 2004.
