TNI Kodiklat Holds Technical Guidance on Food Security for Yonif TP Troops
The Indonesian National Armed Forces’ Command for Doctrine, Education, and Training (Kodiklat TNI) held Technical Guidance (Bimtek) on Food Security and Enhancement of Territorial Development Infantry Battalion (Yonif TP) Capabilities for the 2026 fiscal year. The activity aims to improve the readiness of soldiers in facing increasingly complex global strategic environmental dynamics.
TNI Chief General Agus Subiyanto directly inspected the implementation of food security practical sessions attended by bimtek participants at the Kodiklat TNI Headquarters in Serpong, South Tangerang City (Tangsel), Banten. The presence of the TNI’s top figure signifies attention and support for the government programme.
Agus also motivated the soldiers to actively contribute to strengthening national resilience. He emphasised the importance of developing productive crops such as fruits and other food commodities. “To support the fulfilment of living needs and strengthen food self-sufficiency amid global geopolitical dynamics,” said Agus in a press release in Jakarta on Friday (10/4/2026).
Kodiklat TNI Commander Lieutenant General Mohamad Naudi Nurdika, who was present at the opening and closing, stated that the current global strategic environmental dynamics indicate less conducive conditions. Therefore, this demands increased preparedness through strengthening adaptive, professional, and responsive human resource capacity against various multidimensional challenges.
“Including in the field of food security, as well as enhancing the capabilities of Territorial Development Infantry Battalions and Production Companies in Engineering Construction and Health fields,” said Naudi.
He affirmed that all TNI soldiers are not only required to have professional combat capabilities but also adaptive and productive capabilities in supporting national strategic programmes, particularly food security. This step is an effort to strengthen national resilience and maintain state stability amid global dynamics.
“Kodiklat TNI continues to commit to improving the quality of soldiers’ human resources through education and training relevant to global challenges to comprehensively strengthen national resilience,” said Naudi.
Kodiklat TNI’s Director of Assessment and Development (Dirjianbang) Brigadier General Erland Hendriatna explained that the bimtek was held for five days, from 6-10 April 2026. He explained that the activity is a responsive and adaptive step in facing dynamic strategic environmental developments and will be held continuously to prepare productive soldiers as food security cadres.
“This activity is attended by personnel with strategic roles in supporting food security programmes, and features resource persons in engineering, health, and regional empowerment fields,” said Erland.
