President Joko Widodo is set to lead the Prasetya Perwira (Praspa) ceremony, officially inducting approximately 1,500 newly commissioned cadets from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri). The significant event is scheduled for Wednesday, July 22, 2026, beginning at 8:00 AM Western Indonesian Time (WIB) at the State Palace in Central Jakarta.

Minister Secretary of State Prasetyo Hadi confirmed the President's attendance and leadership of the ceremony. "Tomorrow, according to the agenda, the President will lead the Prasetya Perwira TNI and Polri ceremony at the State Palace at 8:00 AM," Prasetyo stated on Tuesday from the Presidential Complex in Jakarta.

Tomorrow, according to the agenda, the President will lead the Prasetya Perwira TNI and Polri ceremony at the State Palace at 8:00 AM Western Indonesian Time.

While the exact number is pending final confirmation, Prasetyo indicated that around 1,500 cadets are expected to be commissioned. He noted that this figure might be subject to slight adjustments due to potential increases in the number of student participants or cadets. The ceremony signifies the culmination of the first education period at the Indonesian Military Academy for the year 2026.

The cadets participating in the Praspa ceremony have successfully completed their initial officer training, preparing them for their future roles within the TNI and Polri. This event is a key milestone in their military and police careers, marking their transition into commissioned officers.

Because there is a change, we will check, approximately, if we are not mistaken, around 1,500, but we will check again because there is an addition to the number of students or the number of cadets.
