As the country with the largest military capacity, Indonesia needs to act as a conductor for other countries in maintaining the solidarity and cohesiveness of regional defense.

The 81st anniversary of the TNI was celebrated simply at the Cilangkap Headquarters. President Prabowo led the ceremony, inaugurated a new unit, and emphasized the heavy responsibilities of the TNI in safeguarding the nation.

The TNI celebrates its 81st anniversary with a simple ceremony led by Lieutenant General TNI Lucky Avianto. President Prabowo awards the Mahaputera Star and inaugurates 204 new units and PDU.

The ceremony is being held simply after the TNI Headquarters canceled the main event for the 81st anniversary that was supposed to take place at Monas.

The five new military regional commands are planned for Central Papua, the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), North Maluku, and the Riau Islands.
