Abstract

Effective implementation of air defense policy requires careful navigation between clear strategic objectives and the involvement of competent executing agents. This research undertakes a comprehensive evaluation of the key challenges in implementing air defense policy, with a focus on preparing master's graduates to be effective change agents in translating strategy into successful operational actions. Through a targeted qualitative approach and in-depth analysis, the research findings highlight the crucial role of clarity in objectives and standards in formulating effective policies. Constraints such as limited Resources and competency variations are major focal points, which can only be addressed through a holistic and integrated approach. Strong communication, efficient coordination, and steadfast commitment from executing agents are key to successfully navigating complex external dynamics. Research recommendations aim to strengthen master's education, develop technical and managerial competencies, and foster close collaboration with the defense industry to ensure responsive and efficient policy implementation. With an awareness of the complexity of the challenges faced, this research inspires strategic steps that enable the implementation of adaptive air defense policies aligned with national defense objectives.

Abstract

Indonesia’s State Defence (Bela Negara) program stands at a strategic crossroads, caught between the legacy of Total People’s Defence and the exigencies of modern hybrid warfare. This article problematizes the prevailing military epistemic monopoly within policy formulation, which systematically marginalizes civilian expertise in favor of anachronistic, territorial-physical paradigms. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in the framework of Epistemic Pluralism, this study argues that contemporary national resilience requires a structured negotiation between Militerwissen (hierarchical-tactical knowledge) and Bürgerwissen (networked-civilian knowledge). The research proposes a fundamental transition toward a cognitive-technocratic defence model that prioritizes data sovereignty and intellectual capital over mere physical mobilization. Findings indicate that the functional integration of civilian expertise specifically in cyber security, epidemiology, and data science is an absolute prerequisite for defence effectiveness in the era of Gray Zone Operations. Ultimately, this shift necessitates "epistemic humility" within military institutions to foster an equitable civil-military partnership, transforming Bela Negara from a relic of civilian militarization into a dynamic instrument of modern national resilience.

Abstract

Personnel combat readiness is the main focus of the Indonesian Air Force units in carrying out their main tasks. Air Squadron 15 (Iswahjudi Air Force Base) is one of the Indonesian Air Force units that is expected to have maximum personnel combat readiness, but in reality, the combat readiness of personnel in this unit is not yet optimal. Personnel combat readiness can be influenced by various factors. This study used a quantitative method with a sample size of 59 people, and data analysis was carried out using path analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that training has a direct positive effect on combat readiness, the work environment had a direct positive effect on combat readiness, and environmental factors had a direct positive effect on combat readiness. Esprit de corps had a direct positive effect on combat readiness, and competence had a direct positive effect on combat readiness. Furthermore, training had a direct positive effect on competence, the work environment had a direct positive effect on competence, esprit de corps had a direct positive effect on competence, and training had a direct positive effect on esprit de corps. It is recommended that Air Squadron 15 improve the combat readiness of personnel by increasing and improving the training process, work environment, esprit de corps, and personnel competence. In addition, further research is needed on the combat readiness of personnel by considering other relevant aspects. It is recommended that the Indonesian Air Force leaders in air units increase the combat readiness of their personnel by adding/improving the variables that influence it.
