Indonesia Military Education
The reorganization retained a central military academy
headquarters charged with curriculum standardization, but
the
four service academies were returned to the control of
their
respective service chiefs of staff. Cadets continued to
begin
training at the general academy in Magelang, followed by
threeyear courses in the specialized branches of Akabri run by
each
service. The army branch, also referred to as the Military
Academy, was located in Magelang as well. The Air Force
Academy
was located in Yogyakarta, the National Police Academy in
Semarang, and the Naval Academy at Surabaya.
Similarly, the reorganization maintained a joint
headquarters
for the Armed Forces Command and Staff Schools (Mako
Sesko) but
returned control of the individual command and staff
colleges to
the service chiefs of staff. Each service ran its own
command and
staff college to which officers with the rank of major (or
its
equivalent) were sent for advanced leadership training.
Cohort
ties formed at the cadet academy and at the command and
staff
school were strong unifying elements among officers, and a
large
portion of the curriculum at this level was devoted to
social and
ideological issues to prepare officers for assignments in
territorial dwifungsi roles. The ABRI command and
staff
college trained colonels, and the National Defense
Institute
provided training for senior command and staff officers at
the
senior colonel and one-star level. The institute also
trained
senior career civil servants and leaders of the business
community.
