    ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 August 2019 Tensions Among Indonesia’s Security Forces Underlying the May 2019 Riots in Jakarta Made Supriatma* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On May 21-22, riots broke out in Jakarta after the official results of the 2019 election were announced. These riots revealed a power struggle among retired generals and factional strife within the Indonesian armed forces that has developed since the 1990s. • The riots also highlighted the deep rivalry between the military and the police which had worsened in the post-Soeharto years. President Widodo is seen to favour the police taking centre-stage in upholding security while pushing the military towards a more professional role. Widodo will have to curb this police-military rivalry before it becomes a crisis for his government. • Retired generals associated with the political opposition are better organized than the retired generals within the administration, and this can become a serious cause of disturbance in Widodo’s second term. * Made Supriatma is Visiting Fellow in the Indonesia Studies Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 61 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The Indonesian election commission announced the official results of the 2019 election in the wee hours of 21 May 2019. Supporters of the losing candidate-pair, Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno, responded to the announcement with a rally a few hours later. The rally went on peacefully until the evening but did not show any sign of dispersing after the legal time limit for holding public demonstrations had passed.

  • Sailors Aboard the USS Cole Tell Their Stories
    Sailors aboard the USS Cole tell their stories Adapted from the broadcast audio segment; use the audio player to listen to the story in its entirety. Master Chief Petty Officer Pamela Jacobsen: “The first thing I remember about that morning going aloft was it was really hot. I don’t know how people live there and stand the heat. I knew I didn’t want to stay up there too long. I remember seeing the port like a place that was carved out of a piece of sand to me.” Lieutenant JG Robert Overturf: “We got there before sunrise. There was this field littered with sunken ships. Destruction all over. To think that we were going to pull into that [port] to refuel was a little bit odd.” Kirk Lippold, Commanding Officer of USS Cole: “I think everybody realized that there was an elevated threat level. But when we pulled in, there was no evidence of a specific threat for that port or for our ship. Shortly after 10:30am, we started refueling the ship and it was routine.” Lt. Elroy Newton: “I went down to the oil lab to take station, and my boss told me, ‘Hey, Chief, you were down here the last two times. Go top side and I will go ahead and take the oil lab.’ So that’s what he did. I headed topside. I took the headset and then we were kind of joking back and forth a little bit. About two minutes after that is when we felt and heard a huge explosion.

Agar menghindari ancaman embargo senjata, pemerintah membuat kebijakan kemandirian alutsista dan industri pertahanan dengan memasok kendaraan rantis Komodo dari hasil litbang PT Pindad yang merupakan industri pertahanan dalam negeri. Namun, litbang rantis PT Pindad selalu menghadapi berbagai masalah seperti terbatasnya anggaran, waktu, SDM, dan kapasitas produksi. Strategi desain Pengembangan Produk Terintegrasi dan Modular (PPT-M) pada litbang desain rantis Komodo merupakan strategi pengoptimalan litbang rantis PT Pindad dalam menghasilkan rantis yang sesuai dengan kebijakan pemerintah, kebutuhan TNI AD, dan sesuai dengan kapasitas PT Pindad.

They are thought to have constituted the entire floor space of the Grand North Gallery in the Palace of Henry III (1483-1538).

McDevitt CRM D0019742.A1/Final February 2009 Strategic Studies is a division of CNA. This directorate conducts analyses of security policy, regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategy and force assessments. CNA Strategic Studies is part of the global community of strategic studies institutes and in fact collaborates with many of them. On the ground experience is a hallmark of our regional work. Our specialists combine in-country experience, language skills, and the use of local primary-source data to produce empirically based work. All of our analysts have advanced degrees, and virtually all have lived and worked abroad. Similarly, our strategists and military/naval operations experts have either active duty experience or have served as field analysts with operating Navy and Marine Corps commands. They are skilled at anticipating the “problem after next” as well as determining measures of effectiveness to assess ongoing initiatives. A particular strength is bringing empirical methods to the evaluation of peace-time engagement and shaping activities. The Strategic Studies Division’s charter is global. In particular, our analysts have proven expertise in the following areas: • The full range of Asian security issues • The full range of Middle East related security issues, especially Iran and the Arabian Gulf • Maritime strategy • Insurgency and stabilization • Future national security environment and forces • European security issues, especially the Mediterranean littoral • West Africa, especially the Gulf of Guinea • Latin America • The world’s most important navies.
