On August 10, 2025, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto officially reinstated the long-vacant position of Deputy Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) by appointing Lieutenant General Tandyo Budi Revita during a military ceremony at the Pusdiklatpassus TNI AD in Batujajar, Bandung Barat. This position had been vacant for nearly 25 years since last held by General Fachrul Razi. Alongside this appointment, President Prabowo inaugurated six new regional military commands (Kodam) in an effort to strengthen Indonesia's defense capabilities. The Indonesian Army now operates 21 Kodam across 38 provinces, with over 20 regional commands created as part of the largest military overhaul in decades, coinciding with a sharp increase in defense spending under Prabowo's administration. The reforms also include the formation of 14 new Naval Regional Commands (Kodaeral) and plans to establish 100 new territorial battalions. The Deputy Commander, Lieutenant General Tandyo Budi Revita, is tasked to assist Commander General Agus Subiyanto in leading the TNI. The military restructuring reflects the government's focus on enhancing national security, referencing Indonesia's historical experiences with colonization. In addition to the military developments, President Prabowo received President Dina Boluarte of Peru in Jakarta on August 11, 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Peru. During the visit, Prabowo awarded Boluarte the Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipurna, Indonesia's highest honor, and discussed potential strategic cooperation in the fisheries sector. These events occurred in the lead-up to Indonesia's 80th Independence Day celebrations, with preparations underway for various commemorative activities and the upcoming presentation of the 2026 state budget by President Prabowo.
