This formation is voluntary, given basic military training, determination and development of both administration and capabilities and deployment through mobilization and only based on orders from the President through the approval of the DPR. A strategy is needed so that the potential of the Reserve Component can be maximized in the effort to defend the country in the Kodam III/Siliwangi area as part of the land defense strategy. The research objective is to analyze the empowerment of Reserve Components in an effort to defend the country to support land defense strategies.

The results of the study show that the development of Reserve Components and the empowerment of Reserve Components have not been fully implemented because they are hampered by regulations in the use of Reserve Components and their budgeting. From the data above it can be concluded that Kodam III/Siliwangi carried out the formation of the Reserve Component in accordance with the applicable law, empowerment, in this case involvement in activities related to defending the country has not been carried out, but several Reserve Component personnel have been included in the training organized by Kodam III/ Siliwangi.
