Pangdam XV/Pattimura pledges free TNI recruitment for local youth

Major General Dody Triwinarto, Commander of the XV/Pattimura Regional Military Command, has committed to assisting children of online motorcycle taxi drivers and pedicab drivers in registering for the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) without any fees. He emphasized that the entire selection process, from registration to graduation, is free of charge.

While the process is free, Triwinarto noted that candidates must undergo rigorous preparation, including physical and mental training, to succeed in the selection stages. He pledged to support the coaching and preparation of these young individuals to ensure they are ready for the military requirements.

In a separate military event, Triwinarto also presided over the inauguration of 175 Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer (Dikmaba) students at the Rindam XV/Pattimura base in Central Maluku. These graduates have officially been promoted to the rank of Second Sergeant (Serda) and were encouraged to maintain discipline and professionalism as the backbone of their units.
