Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin asked soldiers of the Territorial Development Battalion to be close to the people by providing the best service.
"Soldiers must be at one with the people, present to provide a sense of security and tangible benefits, and remain disciplined in carrying out their duties according to their authority," Sjafrie said in a Ministry of Defense press release released today.
In the press release, it was explained that Sjafrie visited YTP to check the readiness of soldiers and various operational support facilities. the presence of YTP must have a positive impact on the community, such as improving the village economy and infrastructure development.
This can be realized because each YTP has economic duties such as managing land into plantations whose results can be utilized by the community.
In addition, YTP also has a unit tasked with helping the community repair public facilities such as roads or bridges.
However, according to Sjafrie, the most important thing is that YTP must be able to provide a sense of security to the community.
Therefore, Sjafrie told the soldiers to continue strengthening their combat capabilities to protect the community and the region from enemy attacks.
