Analyst: TNI’s Role in Civil Domain Strengthens During 1 Year of Prabowo’s Administration

Ray Rangkuti assesses that the role of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in the civil domain is strengthening during President Prabowo’s first year in office. Several strategic positions in the current government are held by retired TNI personnel who are also members of the Gerindra Party. This situation is considered different from previous administrations, indicating a closer relationship between the military and civil sectors. The appointment of ex-military officials to key roles demonstrates a growing influence of the TNI in non-military affairs.
