The first step is to coordinate with all chiefs of staff both in the army, sea and air to carry out priority programs. Mainly, related to security in conflict areas such as Papua, Natuna, South China Sea, and Aceh. "I will first meet with the chiefs of staff, we will follow up on what is the priority.

So with professional human resources we will continue the duties of the TNI commander," said Yudo.

Then, related to operations that will be faster will also be a priority. For example, about joint operations and independent operations.
