Hold fast to your oath and promise to always be loyal to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Be the glue and unifier of the nation with real efforts in the field.
“Highlight the similarities and put aside the differences in our daily lives both in the official service and when we mingle with society. Maintain the synergy between the TNI and the National Police, Ministries and other Institutions, and realize that we are part of a system that needs each other. So, enthusiasm is needed to work together, synergize and work together in an effort to advance the nation,” said the TNI Commander.
