TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto explained the plan to build infrastructure for three TNI dimensions in the capital city of Nusantara (IKN).

"The TNI continues to strive to perfect the organization in order to answer the dynamics of the challenges of future tasks, including the development of an integrated defense system at IKN," Agus said in the rapim.

The infrastructure is the Air Base (Laud) of the Indonesian Air Force, the Indonesian Navy's marine troops (pasmar), the special military area (kodam) command, and the two new battalions of the Indonesian Army.

"The TNI continues to strive to improve the organization in order to answer the dynamics of the challenges of future tasks, including the development of an integrated defense system at IKN," Agus said at the 2024 TNI-Polri Leadership Meeting (Rapim) at the TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 28, which was confiscated by Antara.

Agus said the formation of the new TNI headquarters from the three dimensions was related to the governance of the TNI organization as a whole, along with the relocation of the capital city of Indonesia from Jakarta to IKN.

He continued to reveal plans to change the organizational structure in the three TNI dimensions. First, within the TNI AD, Agus plans to hold a total of 37 Kodam.

Of the 37 Kodams, 15 of them will be strengthened by the military resort command (korem), while the other 22 will not be strengthened by the correm.

Then, within the Indonesian Navy, Agus plans to increase the status of the main base of the Indonesian Navy (lantamal) to the main operating command (kotama).

"Dan, pembinaan dengan nomenklatur kodamar (komando daerah maritim) kelas A, jumlah delantamal dan enam lantamal, menjadi kodamar kelas B," ujar Agus.

Furthermore, in the Indonesian Air Force environment, he will also increase the status of five type A air bases and two type B air bases. Then, the formation of a type C air base and a new Skadron-skadron will also be carried out.

"This is in line with the vision of the TNI PRIMA, in this case well-organized (good organizational governance). For that, we really hope for the support of the President (Joko Widodo) in order to realize the plans above," said Agus.

The 2024 TNI-Polri Rapim at GOR Ahmad Yani, TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, Jakarta, was opened by President Jokowi who also gave directions to the ranks of the TNI and Polri leaders.

In this year's joint TNI-Polri meeting, the TNI as the host raised the theme "TNI-Polri Ready to Create Security Defense for Advanced Indonesia".

In the rapim, Jokowi gave a special promotion award to the Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo received a special promotion from a three-star retired general to a four-star honorary general.

After the event, President Jokowi immediately left the location of the Rapim TNI-Polri, then Prabowo with Agus Subiyanto and the National Police Chief General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo continued to check the readiness of soldiers and several main equipment for the ground weapon system (alutsista), such as tanks, combat vehicles, tactical vehicles, and domestically made military spec trail motorcycles.
