Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral social media post circulating on Facebook claiming that President Prabowo Subianto ordered universities across Indonesia to replace the Student Community Service program (KKN) with three months of mandatory military training so students would show greater respect toward authorities has been confirmed as false

According to verification data published via turnbackhoax.id, comprehensive searches across credible news outlets and official government portals found no official statement or policy directive supporting the viral allegation.

Official information from the Ministry of Defense via ppid.kemenhan.go.id clarifies that the three-month (or 600-lesson-hour) basic military training refers exclusively to the Reserve Component (Komcad) program, which is strictly voluntary and open to eligible Indonesian citizens aged 18 to 35.

The Defense Ministry further said that university students who voluntarily join and pass selection for the Komcad program retain their full academic rights as students and return to their civilian studies or professions upon completing training.

Accordingly, the claim alleging that President Prabowo instructed universities to abolish KKN in favor of three-month military training is fabricated.
