The results of the study show that defending the country is a constitutional obligation of every Indonesian citizen which is not only limited to the military aspect, but also includes contributions in the social, economic, and cultural fields. However, in the contemporary era, Indonesia is faced with several challenges such as radicalism, terrorism, corruption, as well as the impact of the development of society 5.0 and technological advancements.
