Analysis of Hybrid Warfare Threat Perception on Indonesian National Defense

Hybrid warfare is a war that will exist and dominate in the future, bearing in mind the reality of the threat of this war found almost all over the world by combining conventional and irregular war capabilities. Because these irregular wars lead to use by non-state actors, it is undeniable that their actions support, encourage, or participate in conventional conflicts if the wars have one goal with them. The situation and conditions of events occurring in various parts of the world today, we cannot easily judge the real actors/perpetrators of war, whether they are a country (state actor) or non-state (non-state actor). In addition, there are difficulties about what became the background of the war, which was mixed between political, ideological, economic and social interests etc. The dimensions of the war have also entered the realm of cyberspace (cyber) as a means of cyber warfare media (cyber warfare). Studying various domestic historical events and the development of these types of armed conflicts, it is necessary to be aware of threats of hybrid warfare towards Indonesia, this vigilance is based on the possibility that militant groups such as OPM, GAM, etc. will develop and seek political, financial and even weapons support from within and outside the country and Indonesia will also experience greater difficulties

IMPLEMENTASI PROGRAM DERADIKALISASI MANTAN ANGGOTA KELOMPOK RADIKAL NEGARA ISLAM INDONESIA (NII) DI KABUPATEN GARUT

Terjadinya perekrutan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok radikal NII telah menarik perhatian publik serta pemerintah Indonesia, teridentifikasi terdapat banyak masyarakat Garut telah berbaiat dan terpapar paham radikal NII. Hal tersebut memunculkan ancaman bagi kedaulatan ideologi bangsa Indonesia yang disebabkan oleh pemahaman radikal yang memiliki tujuan mendirikan negara Islam Indonesia. Untuk mengantisipasi hal tersebut dilakukan sebuah program deradikalisasi yang bertujuan untuk memutus paham radikal di masyarakat terutama bagi para anggota yang telah berbaiat dan terpengaruh paham radikal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi program deradikalisasi yang telah dilaksanakan oleh pemerintah dalam penanggulangan paham radikalisme NII di Garut, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Implementasi yang telah dilaksanakan oleh pemerintah yang tergabung dalam satuan tugas penanggulangan paham intoleransi dan radikalisme wilayah Garut telah berjalan cukup baik berdasarkan indikator teori implementasi yang meliputi komunikasi, sumber daya, disposisi, dan struktur birokrasi. Program yang telah dijalankan telah meraih hasil yang memuaskan dengan banyaknya eks anggota NII menyatakan deklarasi kembali ke NKRI dan dilakukan pembinaan agar tidak terpengaruh kembali. Namun persepsi yang masih beranggapan bahwa NII itu sudah tidak ada dan juga konsistensi pemerintah untuk melakukan penanggulangan menimbulkan tantangan tersendiri bagi pemerintah karena Garut merupakan daerah potensi radikal dan merupakan basis dan embrio kelompok NII

Strategy For Treating Bioterrorism Threats In Indonesia Post Pandemi Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic has revived interest in the impact of using pathogens as weapons. Bioterrorism is the intentional release of viruses, bacteria or other agents used to cause disease or death in humans, animals or plants. There is the potential for state-sponsored terrorism against strategic targets and the potential for the use of biological agents in committing crimes that have no political goals but are committed for extortion or revenge. This study aims to analyze the threat of bioterrorism in Indonesia using a qualitative descriptive method. This study involved collecting data from various sources, such as related documents and reports, as well as interviews with relevant experts and stakeholders. The results of the study show that Indonesia is facing a real threat of bioterrorism which can endanger national defense and security as well as public health. Like Covid-19, even though it has been declared a pandemic, Covid-19 can also be called a bioterrorism threat even though it is not fully realized. Through this study, researchers want to show that threat identification in Indonesia still needs to be improved. This also needs to be accompanied by optimizing efforts to prevent and deal with bioterrorism, especially in the aspect of inter-agency coordination and increasing state intelligence capabilities. In supporting these efforts, regulations, human resources, technology and infrastructure need to be prepared as early as possible in order to deal with the threat of bioterrorism
