Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  The Indonesian Army has trained and prepared 1,728 new soldiers to join the Territorial Development Battalion (BTP), a unit aligned with President Prabowo Subianto’s national defense vision. 

These recruits graduated from the first 2025 intake of the Tamtama education program at the Army Artillery Training Center in Cimahi, West Java.

“This is the implementation of President Prabowo Subianto’s policy to build a people-centered and comprehensive military force,” said Deputy Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tandyo Budi R during the graduation ceremony on Friday (25/4/2025).

The new soldiers received training in professionalism, loyalty, and national values, with a focus on supporting development in remote and border regions. The initiative aims to strengthen local presence and promote stability through territorial defense. 

Commander Tandyo urged graduates to uphold integrity and ethics, stressing that their true journey begins now as contributors to the nation's progress.
