        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Defence and the National Armed Forces are implementing fuel-saving measures, including restricting the use of official vehicles and adjusting workdays from five to four days per week, in response to global geopolitical tensions affecting energy stability. These adaptive and phased policies, directed by President Prabowo Subianto amid the US-Israel conflict with Iran, aim to enhance resource management while maintaining operational readiness and defence preparedness. National energy reserves remain secure, underscoring the proactive rather than emergency-driven nature of these initiatives.",

These steps not only include adjusting workdays\nfrom five to four days per week.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the Defence Information Bureau at the Ministry of Defence,\nBrigadier General Rico Ricardo Sirait, stated that the use of main\nweapon system equipment (alusista) will be regulated based on priority\nindices and operational needs. \u201cAlong with restrictions on the use of\nofficial vehicles and employee shuttle transport, while still\nconsidering the effectiveness of task implementation,\u201d he said in a\npress release published on Kemhan\u2019s official website on Monday, 23 March\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that this fuel-saving policy is implemented adaptively,\nmeasurably, and gradually according to the needs of each work unit in\nthe Ministry of Defence and TNI. Fuel efficiency, Rico said, is also\nfocused on support aspects, while strategic operations and defence\nreadiness are maintained optimally.<\/p>\n<p>He said this fuel consumption efficiency is carried out as an\nanticipatory step and discipline in managing strategic resources.\nMoreover, he noted that the current global geopolitical situation has\nthe potential to affect energy stability. \u201c(Fuel efficiency) is not due\nto an emergency situation,\u201d he said. According to him, the national\nenergy reserves are currently still in a safe condition.<\/p>\n<p>This fuel-saving policy is one of the directives from President\nPrabowo Subianto. This is due to the war between the United\nStates-Israel against Iran, which has impacted oil prices and crude oil\nsupplies.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo stated that Indonesia must take proactive steps to address\nthe impact of the war between the United States and Israel against Iran.\n\u201cIn the sense that we must save fuel consumption,\u201d Prabowo said during a\ncabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace in Central Jakarta on Friday,\n13 March 2026.<\/p>",
