<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Indonesia has a high incidence of natural disasters, requiring preparedness from all parties, including Navy personnel who often serve as the frontline in emergency response. However, their knowledge and skills in providing Basic Life Support (BLS) remain limited. This BLS training program at Lantamal Sorong, West Papua, aimed to improve the ability of Navy personnel to provide first aid during cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest, both in military operations and disaster situations. The training combined theory, discussion, and hands-on practice using mannequins and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Thirty active personnel from various units participated. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to assess knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase in scores, from an average of 40 to 71.5. Participants successfully demonstrated BLS techniques according to the American Heart Association (AHA) standards, including proper chest compressions and AED use. Despite challenges such as limited equipment and time, the training was effective and received positive responses. BLS training proved beneficial in enhancing the preparedness of Navy personnel in emergency situations. To sustain its impact, routine training every six months, independent provision of equipment, and the development of digital modules are recommended.
