progresifjaya.id, SURABAYA – Pangdam V/Brawijaya, Mayjen TNI Rudy Saladin firmly asked every soldier in the field not to be easily provoked by conditions. Every soldier was also asked to be observant, responsive and sensitive to the situation in the field.
This affirmation was conveyed by Pangdam Rudy Saladin in the mandate of KASAD, Jenderal TNI Maruli Simanjuntak when he was the Inspector of the 17th Ceremony at the Kodam V/Brawijaya Field, Monday, (11/18).
He also reminded in the mandate of KASAD, related to the simultaneous Pilkada which will take place in a few days, soldiers of Kodam V/Brawijaya who are on BKO security to Polres-Polres under the East Java Regional Police must also be prepared, both physically and mentally.
“Following the orders of the TNI Commander and the Army Chief of Staff, i have also repeatedly emphasized to all soldiers that TNI neutrality is non-negotiable. Remember that. Follow the direction of the leadership. Avoid our attitudes, speech in society and on social media that have the potential to cause problems in the future related to TNI neutrality,” said Pangdam Rudy Saladin.
Furthermore, Pangdam Rudy Saladin also reminded soldiers not to act alone. All must act with one command. Starting from the Dan SST command (at the platoon level), the Dan SSK command (at the company level) to the policy-making command in the field.
“Once again i remind you not to act alone. Ignore orders from other units that cannot be accounted for. Remember that, soldiers!” he emphasized again.
Furthermore, reading the KASAD’s message, Pangdam Rudy Saladin also reminded soldiers not to only be alert to physical threats. Vigilance towards the digital world now also needs to be increased considering the increasing phenomenon of online gambling (judol) and online loans (pinjol).
“Judol and pinjol are real threats that can damage the social and economic life of the community. Therefore, i urge soldiers not to get involved in these activities and help educate the community to be more careful,” he said. (Bembo)
