The History of Indonesia National Armed Forces (TNI)

October 5 was chosen as TNI Day to mark the formal establishment of Indonesia’s military under the name Tentara Keamanan Rakyat (People’s Security Army or TKR) in 1945. This organization played a vital role in the struggle to defend Indonesia’s independence against the Dutch, who sought to reoccupy the country with military force.

Before the TKR was formed, the initial security force was called the Badan Keamanan Rakyat (People’s Security Agency or BKR). However, it became evident that a formal military was needed to meet international military standards and adequately defend the newly independent nation.

Thus, on October 5, 1945, the TKR was established and later evolved into Tentara Republik Indonesia (Army of the Republic of Indonesia or TRI) as part of efforts to enhance its military structure.

The process of unifying Indonesia’s armed forces continued as the country fought to maintain its sovereignty. On June 3, 1947, the TRI, along with various armed resistance groups, officially merged to form the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI).

October 5 is now celebrated annually to honor the founding of the TNI and its crucial role in preserving Indonesia’s independence and unity.
