        "summary": "The South Sulawesi provincial government has launched Indonesia's first pilot military basic training programme for the reserve component, involving 2,033 civil servants from 24 districts and cities to strengthen national defence and implement presidential directives on strategic national reserves. The two-month training, inaugurated by Governor Andi Sudirman Sulaiman and overseen by the National Reserve Agency, focuses on building discipline, nationalism, and readiness among participants aged up to 35, without compromising their primary civil service duties.

The opening ceremony for the Komcad Latsarmil\ntook place at the Hasanuddin Regional Military Command (Rindam) 14 area,\nMattaro Village, Bontomarannu Subdistrict, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi,\non Monday (30\/3). The event was led directly by South Sulawesi Governor\nAndi Sudirman Sulaiman, alongside the Head of the National Reserve\nAgency of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia,\nLieutenant General TNI Gabriel Lema, who served as the inspecting\nofficer. Sulaiman emphasised that the recruited participants are civil\nservants who have undergone a very rigorous selection process, with a\nmaximum age limit of 35 years. According to him, this programme\nrepresents a concrete step by the regional government in supporting\nnational defence while preparing human resources ready to be mobilised\nin emergency situations or threats to sovereignty. \u201cThis involves 24\ndistricts and cities; we selected those who truly meet the requirements\nbecause there was a selection process, and the maximum age is 35 years.\nThis is a pilot and the first one, the pioneering Komcad in Indonesia,\nand we, the provincial government, are the first to take steps to\nimplement the President\u2019s directives regarding this strategic reserve\ncommand,\u201d Sulaiman stated. He added that the training, which will last\nfor two months, serves as an important momentum to shape disciplined\ncharacter and a spirit of national defence among civil servants. Through\nthis pioneering programme, the South Sulawesi provincial government\nhopes to develop civil servants who are not only competent in their\nofficial duties but also possess nationalist character, discipline, and\nreadiness to become the forefront of community-based defence. Meanwhile,\nLieutenant General TNI Gabriel Lema, Head of the National Reserve Agency\nof the Ministry of Defence, explained that the training curriculum\nfocuses on building national character without neglecting the primary\nfunctions and duties of civil servants. The training will be guided by\nprofessional instructors from the Military Regional Command (Kodam)\nthrough Rindam. \u201cThe formation of this Komcad is focused on civil\nservants, with a duration of approximately one and a half to two months.\nThe materials are character-building in the context of nationality. Of\ncourse, the portion related to the functions and duties of civil\nservants must also be prioritised,\u201d Gabriel said. He further noted that\nthe provision includes discipline, teamwork, camaraderie, and building\nempathy among participants. \u201cThe curriculum has been structured and will\nbe led by professional trainers within the Kodam scope, in this case\nRindam. What we hope for is a change in character, perspective, and way\nof thinking, and what we aim to realise is complete responsibility\ntowards this nation,\u201d he stressed. Gabriel also reminded that the\nmandate of the law requires every citizen to participate in safeguarding\nsovereignty. \u201cEvery citizen, besides having rights\u2014remember well\u2014also\nhas obligations in order to maintain the sovereignty of this nation,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>",
