Role of TNI<\/p>\n
After giving up its role in politics, the Indonesian Military
\n(TNI) must reform its role and reinterpret its doctrines so that
\nit is in line with demands for reform and TNI personnel must not
\njust be \"professional mercenaries\".<\/p>\n
If everything runs as scheduled, the TNI will no longer have
\nany seats in the House of Representatives in 2004. It is expected
\nthat the TNI will reform its doctrines, organizational system and
\nfoster a system to enable it to approach national problems not
\nonly from the viewpoint of security but also from the view point
\nof politics, economics, sociology, religion, culture and human
\nrights.<\/p>\n
In short, TNI members will not be mere mercenaries. They will
\nbe able to understand the root cause of a turmoil so that they
\ncan team up with civilian leaders to remove this cause together.<\/p>\n
The term \"professional soldiers\", therefore refer to soldiers
\nskilled at using weapons and well-versed in security strategies
\nbut at the same time also sensitive to the developments in
\nsituations, skilled at reading a situation and firm in action and
\ndiscipline.<\/p>\n
We owe a lot to the TNI for its major role in maintaining
\nnational unity. We will have even greater pride in a professional
\nTNI that can skillfully and efficiently deal with security
\nthreats that seem to rock our country endlessly. -- Republika,
