80th Anniversary of TNI in Lumajang: A Manifestation of the Spirit “TNI Prima – TNI of the People – Advancing Indonesia”
Lumajang – To commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), a ceremonial event was held at Pratu Natra Field, Battalion 527/Baladhika Yudha, Lumajang Regency, on Sunday (October 5, 2025). The ceremony carried the theme “TNI Prima – TNI of the People – Advancing Indonesia,” which reflects the professionalism, unity with the people, and dedication of the TNI to the nation and the state.
Acting as Inspector of Ceremony, Deputy Commander of Battalion 527/BY, Major Inf Ari Firmansyah, S., ST., Han., Sip., read the mandate of the TNI Commander. The message emphasized that the theme of this year’s 80th Anniversary carries a profound meaning—TNI that is Professional, Responsive, Integrative, Modern, and Adaptive (PRIMA) in safeguarding the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
“The TNI was born from the people, fought alongside the people, and serves for the people. These values are the foundation for every soldier to continuously strengthen synergy and unity with all elements of the nation in realizing an advanced, sovereign, just, and prosperous Indonesia,” the TNI Commander’s mandate stated, as read by the Inspector of Ceremony.
The mandate further highlighted that the increasingly complex dynamics of the global, regional, and national strategic environment demand the TNI to continuously improve its capabilities, both in terms of defense equipment readiness (Alutsista) and in the development of resilient human resources with a strong fighting spirit
The TNI Commander also reminded all soldiers to remain vigilant against various forms of provocation and disinformation, particularly those intended to divide internal solidarity and disrupt the synergy between the TNI, other institutions, and the harmonious relationship between the TNI and the people.
In his mandate, the TNI Commander delivered four key directives to be upheld by all soldiers and civilian staff of the TNI:
- Strengthen faith and devotion to God Almighty as the moral and spiritual foundation of service.
- Maintain and enhance TNI’s solid unity and closeness with the people, as the main strength in preserving the integrity of the NKRI.
- Increase vigilance and exercise wisdom in the use of social media, so as not to be influenced by provocations that may damage the image and honor of the TNI.
- Carry out every duty sincerely, avoid unlawful acts that harm the people, and uphold the values of Sapta Marga and the Soldier’s Oath.
Through the momentum of this 80th Anniversary commemoration, it is hoped that the entire TNI ranks will further strengthen their commitment to safeguarding national development and maintaining security stability for the realization of an advanced and sovereign Indonesia.
“The TNI will continue to transform into a modern, professional force that is loved by the people, in line with the spirit of ‘TNI Prima – TNI of the People – Advancing Indonesia,’” emphasized Major Inf Ari Firmansyah at the close of his address.
