the wilderness survival training between the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Australian Defense Force was part of the Keris Woomera Joint Exercise series which was held from October 10-20, 2026.
This survival training exercise between the Indonesian and Australian militaries aims to hone survival skills in the open air, particularly when facing logistical limitations and challenging terrain during military operations.
Soldiers from both countries learned how to identify plants, leaves and animals that could be used as food sources, and they also learned to distinguish between those that were dangerous or unfit for consumption.
This knowledge is essential for soldiers to be able to make the right decisions and avoid the risk of poisoning or danger from wild animals when far from logistical support.
Wilderness survival training provides an opportunity for the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Indonesian Air Force to exchange knowledge on how to deal with emergency situations in the operational field.
This activity affirms the TNI's commitment to improving the physical and mental resilience and professionalism of its soldiers, while also demonstrating Indonesia's military diplomacy in strengthening defense cooperation with Australia.
