• ANTARA/HO-Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia

Jakarta, VIVA – Head of the Defence Information Bureau (Karo Infohan) of the Ministry of Defence (Kemhan) Secretariat General, Brigadier General TNI Rico Ricardo Sirait, stated that civil servants (ASN) who will participate in training as reserve components (Komcad) must undergo a rigorous selection process.

“Prospective participants who have registered must still go through a selection process. The selection stages include administrative selection, health checks, and physical fitness tests,” Rico told ANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday.

Rico explained that the health checks are necessary to ensure the physical endurance of the ASN who will later undergo basic military training.

Not only health and physical tests, but they will also conduct psychological tests and ideological assessments.

“Psychological tests, as well as ideological assessments, will be carried out to ensure the participants are ready to undergo Komcad training,” Rico explained.

Rico added that the Ministry of Defence has allocated a quota of 4,000 for all ministries and agencies that wish to send ASN to participate in Komcad training.

The first phase of training is planned for 2,000 ASN and will be held at five locations, namely Pusdikkes, Skadik 301, Pusbahasa AU, Kodam Jaya, and Pasmar 1.

The second phase will also be attended by the same number of ASN and will be held in mid-2026.

As of today, Thursday, February 26, 987 ASN have registered to participate in training as Komcad. He said that the number is likely to increase before the first phase of training in April.

He hopes that with this training, all ASN will have the same spirit and sense of nationalism to serve the community and the country. (Ant)
