STATE DEFENSE TRAINING HIMA UNIVERSITAS TEKNOKRAT INDONESIA BEST PTS SUMATERA COOPERATED WITH BRIGIF 4 MARINES/BS
Best PTS Sumatra – State defense as a basic obligation for every citizen who is full of awareness, responsibility and is willing to sacrifice to the state and nation. Students are part of the citizens who have an obligation to defend the state which is adjusted to their role as agents of change and agents of development.
State defense activities for Indonesian students are needed for character building, strengthening mental revolution and preparing students to face threats, such as; drug abuse, radicalism, natural disasters, conflicts between students and the spread of infectious diseases. State defense activities for new students are pioneers in implementing state defense at the university level in Indonesia.
The student’s state defense training is held, because the challenges facing the nation are getting bigger and the threats are getting more complex as a result of global developments. The flow of globalization and modernization has a great influence on national identity, it can even threaten the nation’s culture so that Indonesian students as educated cadres must take an active role through state defense students.
Threats from outside and threats from within can be countered, if the younger generation has a strong sense of nationalism and love for the homeland to protect and defend the country with their intellectual insight. Students as young and educated cadres are obliged to protect and defend the country in accordance with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution.
In fact, the growing and widespread flow of world globalization has made some students fascinated by global developments, so that they unconsciously neglect their obligation to protect and defend their country from threats that come.
For this reason, the Computer Engineering Student Association and the Information Technology Student Association carried out State Defense Training activities at Marines Eco Park Brigif 4 Marines/BS on November 28, 2021, which was attended by 115 students.
In this activity, Major Marines Halilintar Joyo Laksono, Commander of the 4 Marines/BS Brigadier Headquarters Company, gave material to the Student Association about the Important Role of Students in State Defense. In the material, students have an obligation to participate in defending the country according to their profession. In accordance with the 1945 Constitution Article 27 paragraph (3) that “Every citizen has the right and is obliged to participate in efforts to defend the state”.
To defend the country, do not look at ethnicity, race and religion, and as the next generation, it is obligatory to have the spirit of Pancasila. To maintain the integrity and security of the state has become a joint task between civil society, the TNI and the Police. The task as a student in defending the country is to show brilliant achievements to make the name of the country and the alma mater a place to foster knowledge. In addition, students must stay away from drug abuse and radicalism.
This activity was opened by Auliya Rahman Isnain, M.Sc. Deputy Dean III for Student Affairs, Faculty of Engineering & Computer Science, Aulia said that state defense activities for students are needed for character building, strengthening mental revolution and preparing students to face threats, such as; drug abuse, radicalism, natural disasters, conflicts between students.
The student’s state defense training is held, because the challenges facing the nation are getting bigger and the threats are getting more complex as a result of global developments. The flow of globalization and modernization has a great influence on national identity, it can even threaten the nation’s culture so that students as educated cadres must take an active role through state defense students. Students are the most important part in determining the future direction of the nation so it is necessary to instill a sense of love for the homeland and nation.
The Vice Chancellor revealed that State Defense Education is mandatory at the beginning of lectures, very supportive of activities and every year it is always carried out for new students.
