AHY briefs Akmil cadets ahead of officer commissioning by Prabowo
AHY urged future officers to grasp geopolitics, the global economy and national development, not just military skills.
Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono briefed cadets at the Military Academy in Magelang on Saturday ahead of their commissioning as Indonesian Army officers by President Prabowo Subianto. AHY, who is also an Akmil alumnus, said future officers need broad insight into changes in the world over the next five, 10 and 25 years. He said officer candidates must do more than master military skills and should also understand geopolitical dynamics, developments in the global economy and national development challenges, including infrastructure. He also urged the cadets to be sensitive to public issues and to be able to contribute beyond their military careers.
