Marine Corps prepares best facilities to train civil servants as reserve components
Facilities prepared include barracks, training grounds, classrooms, healthcare facilities, and field kitchens.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Head of the Information Service of the Marine Corps, Colonel (Mar) Rana Karyana, said that they have prepared the best facilities to train civil servants (ASN) to become reserve components (Komcad).
Speaking to ANTARA in Jakarta on Friday, Rana said that some of the facilities prepared include barracks, training grounds, classrooms, healthcare facilities, and field kitchens.
In addition, Rana said that they are also preparing trainers, staff, medical personnel, and the best personnel from the Marine Corps to assist in the Komcad training process.
“We have also prepared the curriculum and training schedule, which has been adjusted to the characteristics of the ASN participants (non-active military), so that it remains proportional and safe,” said Rana.
“We have also prepared procedures for securing and ensuring the safety of the training, including risk mitigation standards during the activity,” he added.
Although the entire concept of training and the facilities used are standards from the Marine Corps, Rana ensured that they will still adjust the training pattern for the ASN.
“There will be adjustments to the aspects of comfort and security, given that the participants come from the civilian sector,” explained Rana.
He hopes that all the facilities and learning materials that have been provided by the Marine Corps can support the Komcad training process for ASN so that it can run optimally.
Previously, the Ministry of Defence stated that 2,000 ASN who will participate in the training as reserve components (Komcad) will be trained at five TNI training locations.
“The implementation of the first wave of training is planned to take place at several educational locations, including Pusdikkes, Skadik 301, Pusbahasa AU, Kodam Jaya, and Pasmar 1,” said the Head of the Defence Information Bureau (Karo Infohan) of the Ministry of Defence, Brigadier General TNI Rico Ricardo Sirait, to ANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday (February 26).
Rico said that the ASN will be trained on the basics of military training, both in practice and in theory.
The training process for this wave will begin in April 2026 and will last for approximately 1.5 months.
Rico added that the Ministry of Defence itself provides a quota of 4,000 people for all ministries and agencies that want to send their ASN to participate in the Komcad training.
The first wave of training is planned for 2,000 ASN, and the second wave with the same number will be held in mid-2026.
As of Thursday, there are 987 ASN who have registered to participate in the first wave of Komcad training.
He said that this number is likely to increase before the first wave of training in April 2026.
He hopes that with this training, all ASN will have the same spirit and sense of nationalism to serve the community and the country.
