Nacionalne oružane snage Indonezije (Tentara Nasional
Indonesia, TNI) broje oko 430.000 ljudi u što su uključeni
kopnena vojska, mornarica (sa mornaričkom pješadijom) te avijacija.
Oružane snage su formirane za vrijeme Revolucije, kada su pokrenule
gerilski rat zajedno sa neformalnim naoružanim grupama. Kao rezultat
takvih početaka, vojska je ostala organizirana po teritorijalnoj liniji,
tako da ogromna većina njenih pripadnika služi u svojoj regiji. Zadaci
vojske su očuvanje unutrašnje sigurnosti i borba protiv potencijalnih
napadačkih snaga. Zakonom je određeno obavezno služeje vojnog roka, ali
vojska i bez redovne regrutacije ima dovoljan broj vojnika. Broj vojno
sposobnih u dobi od 16 do 49 godina je preko 52.000.000 miliona ljudi,
sa prilivom od oko 2.000.000 novih svake godine. |
The Indonesian National Armed Forces (Tentara Nasional
Indonesia, TNI; formerly Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia,
ABRI) in 2009 comprises approximately 432,129 personnel including the
Army (TNI-AD), Navy (TNI-AL) including the Indonesian Marine Corps
(Korps Marinir) and the Air Force (TNI-AU). The Indonesian Army was
formed during the Indonesian National Revolution, when it undertook a
guerrilla war along with informal militia. As a result of this, and the
need to maintain internal security, the Army has been organized along
territorial lines, aimed at defeating internal enemies of the state and
potential external invaders. Conscription is provided for by law, yet
the Forces have been able to maintain mandated strength levels without
resorting to a draft. Most enlisted personnel were recruited in their
own home regions and generally trained and served most of their time in
units nearby. The Indonesian armed forces are voluntary. The available
manpower fit for military service of males aged between 16 to 49 is
52,000,000, with a further 2,000,000 new suitable for service annually. |
