LOGISTICS DISTRIBUTION GOVERNANCE MODEL OF THE INDONESIAN NATIONAL MILITARY IN SUPPORTING TASK FORCE UNITS IN OPERATIONAL AREAS

Abstract

This study explores the logistics distribution governance model of the Indonesian National Military (TNI) in supporting task force units within operational areas. Utilizing qualitative methods and literature review, the research highlights the complexities and challenges faced by TNI in managing logistics across Indonesia's vast archipelago. Effective logistics distribution is critical for ensuring timely delivery of essential supplies and resources to military units, thereby enhancing operational readiness and effectiveness. The findings indicate that TNI has developed a comprehensive and integrated logistics governance framework that emphasizes centralized planning and coordination, enabling efficient resource allocation across diverse geographical landscapes. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of adopting advanced technologies such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and real-time tracking solutions to improve transparency and responsiveness in the supply chain. Furthermore, the implementation of a defense strategy based on major islands fosters self-sufficiency in logistics capabilities, reducing dependency on external resources. Ultimately, this research contributes to understanding how effective logistics governance can enhance military operations in complex environments, providing insights for policymakers and military leaders to optimize logistical support for task forces operating in challenging terrains.
