Abstract

This study examines the maintenance and utilization of Indonesia's Army Reserve Component (Komcad) within its Total Defense System (Sishankamrata). The research, based on qualitative methodology focusing on document analysis, assesses Komcad's policy, legal foundation, challenges, and opportunities. Findings reveal that effective readiness hinges on recruitment, continuous training, logistics, and civil-military coordination. Significant gaps identified include budget constraints, poor inter-agency coordination, low public awareness, and limited technology use. The study concludes that while Law No. 23/2019 provides a strong legal basis, effective implementation requires comprehensive policies, greater integration into national defense planning, and digital innovation to ensure Komcad's long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
