“The participation of Ministry of Creative Economy civil servants in the Reserve Component Program since August 15, 2026, is a strategic step toward strengthening the spirit of national defense, discipline, and the character of our civil servants. We aim to develop civil servants who are not only creative and adaptive, but also resilient, have integrity, and possess a strong sense of nationalism,” said Teuku Riefky.
In accordance with Law No. 23 of 2019 on the Management of National Resources for National Defense, the Reserve Component is tasked with strengthening the Main Component (TNI) within the Total People’s Defense and Security System. This physical and mental development is considered essential to supporting the foundations of the national economy.
“Civil servants play a strategic role in ensuring the continuity of public services and the implementation of state policies. Therefore, the spirit of national defense must be reflected in every form of service, including through discipline, loyalty, professionalism, and readiness to make the best contribution to the nation,” Teuku Riefky continued.
The deployment ceremony for civil servant participants from ministries and government institutions was held by the Ministry of Defense at the Mako Brigif 1 Parako Pasgat Field, Halim Perdanakusuma, Jakarta. The Ministry of Creative Economy was represented at the event by Head of the Bureau for Legal Affairs, Human Resources, and Organization, Moch. Nurul Huda.
The Second Batch of the 2026 Reserve Component Basic Military Training is a continuation stage following the participants’ completion of the required selection and examination processes. The human resource development program is attended by approximately 2,000 civil servants from various ministries and government institutions, with a 45-day training period.

During the Basic Military Training, participants receive instruction and training aimed at building character, strengthening discipline, developing esprit de corps, and enhancing their awareness and capabilities in national defense. The experience is expected not to end with the training period, but to become a set of values that participants bring back to their workplaces and demonstrate in carrying out their duties as civil servants.
Through the spirit of #KitaMulaiCaraBaru, the Ministry of Creative Economy continues to promote a transformation of its work culture that places people at the heart of the organization. The participation of civil servants in the Reserve Component Basic Military Training represents one tangible manifestation of this effort to develop physically and mentally resilient, adaptive, and professional civil servants who are ready to make their best contribution to Indonesia.
