<![CDATA[This study analyzes the role and implications of the Indonesian Armed Forces' (TNI) involvement in managing and strengthening food security efforts across Indonesia. This involvement is driven by the mandate to bolster non-military defense and the increasing importance of national food resilience. The research aims to identify the forms of TNI intervention in the agricultural sector, the challenges encountered, and its impact on the food system as a whole. The methodology employed involves a literature review and analysis of related policies. The findings indicate that the TNI is extensively involved, ranging from assisting farmers and providing agricultural infrastructure to mobilizing resources for new rice field development programs. While the TNI's presence has been recognized for accelerating planting and production in certain regions, challenges persist regarding potential role overlaps with technical ministries and the sustainability of programs following the withdrawal of support. In conclusion, the TNI's participation serves as an effective short-term strategy to meet urgent production targets. However, a clearer and more systematic synergy with civilian institutions is required to ensure sustainable food management consistent with an ideal civil-military framework]]>
