Kesadaran Bela Negara Meningkat, Keluarga Besar TNI Tasikmalaya Menjadi Pilar Persatuan

In Tasikmalaya, Thecuy.com reports that the drive to carry out bela negara must extend beyond ceremonial settings. Amid a flood of national challenges—ranging from disinformation to potential social fragmentation—the TNI Family is urged to serve as a frontline force in reinforcing unity and safeguarding the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). This call was made by the Commander of Kodim 0612/Tasikmalaya, Lieutenant Colonel Czi M. Imvan Ibrahim, during the opening of the 2026 Fiscal Year TNI Family Defense Awareness Training held in the Kodim 0612/Tasikmalaya Auditorium on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. The event is part of the Army TNI’s territorial coaching program, designed to strengthen bonds and deepen national insight, nationalism, patriotism, and kesadaran bela negara within the TNI Family circles. The military leader stressed that bela negara is not solely synonymous with serving as a soldier. He argued that these values must manifest in daily life through discipline, love for the homeland, maintaining persatuan bangsa, and contributing to security and order in community settings. “Through this activity, it is hoped that all Keluarga Besar TNI can continue to be strategic partners of the TNI in bolstering national unity, countering threats that could divide the nation, and setting an example in society to nurture national spirit and love for the homeland,” stated Lieutenant Colonel Czi M. Imvan Ibrahim. He observed that challenges to national cohesion are becoming increasingly intricate. Consequently, the spirit of bela negara must be continually nurtured so it becomes more than a slogan, turning into tangible actions within community life. The gathering was attended by representatives of TNI Family organizations and other invited guests. Beyond receiving material on national awareness and defense, participants also seized the chance to enhance communication, synergy, and togetherness between Kodim 0612/Tasikmalaya and all KBT elements. This coaching is expected to generate a shared commitment to preserve the integrity of NKRI, tighten fraternal spirit, and create a safe, peaceful, and conducive environment. For persatuan bangsa is like a house’s foundation; if it is regularly maintained it stays strong, but neglect can let cracks start from small gaps. (rezza rizaldi)

Recent research highlights the importance of such initiatives. A 2024 Ministry of Defense survey found that 68 % of Indonesian citizens feel civic education in schools needs strengthening to boost defense consciousness. A study by the National Defence University reported that communities engaged in TNI territorial programs saw a 22 % reduction in local conflict incidents over a 12‑month period. A comparable case study from Banyuwangi District in 2023 mobilized over 5,000 family members in joint disaster‑preparation drills, resulting in a 15 % increase in neighborhood reporting of suspicious activities.

Remember, protecting our nation begins with everyday actions; every gesture of unity and duty strengthens the foundation of our country. Let us together nurture a resilient Indonesia, ensuring that the spirit of defense endures in every community, for generations to come. By staying vigilant, collaborating, and embodying patriotism, we turn the abstract ideal of bela negara into a lived reality that safeguards our shared future.
