Getting to Know the Rank of Lieutenant Colonel Tituler
Regulations regarding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (Letkol) Situler are controlled in Government Regulation Number 29 of 2010 concerning the Administration of TNI Soldiers. In that law, it is described that the rank of territory is one of the special TNI ranks and can be given to citizens.
The rank was even given to civilians who were "needed" and "willing" to carry out their duties within the TNI. Meanwhile, the appointment of civil society to get military ranks is usually carried out according to need.
For example, when a spiritual officer is needed to serve on the field of military operations. Therefore, the military may apply for clergy to serve as a tautular rank.
Another example is when a military crime occurs and should be tried on the battlefield. However, at that location, no judge and prosecutor were able to try. Therefore, the military can only appoint civilians as military judges, military oditurs, and military defenders with a tentative rank.
Then, it is necessary to understand that the rank is only temporary. With that kind of thing, when the mission has been completed, the rank can be revoked. Furthermore, with the granting of the rank, there are some rights that will be accepted by Deddy.
For example, salary, position allowances (15 percent of salary), family allowances, to TNI number plates. However, he is now losing voter rights in the General Election (Pemilu) because of the title he carries. that's because members of ASN, TNI, and Polri are neutral parties so they are prohibited from following all practical political activities.
