** As for their helicopter fleet, they operates several gunships in form of the older Russian Mi-35P Hind and the newer American AH-64E Guardian Apache, making them the second armed service to operate both Hind and Apache platforms after the [[UsefulNotes/IndiansWithIglas Indian Air Force]]. Their primary utility helicopter is the [=NBell=] 412, locally produced variant of Bell 412, that are armed with either locally licensed FN [=MAGs=] or [[GatlingGood M134 Minigun]]. The helicopter is also used by the National Police in addition of the military. The navy also owns several types of naval helicopters, mostly British, plus nationally made transports, including the aforementioned [=NBell=] 412 helicopters.

* They have F-16 and Su-27 fighters (plus new Su-30MK2s), with Dassault Rafale and F-15EX recently ordered (cue ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' jokes). They also had A-4 Skyhawk and OV-10 Bronco ground attack crafts and BAE Hawk light fighters; the former was bought via a secret deal with Israel [[note]]To this day both countries do not have diplomatic relations [[/note]] and the latter three were bought for COIN operations in East Timor.

The navy also owns several types of naval helicopters, mostly British, plus nationally made transports.

Second oldest. Founded with the same personnel as the Army but in a later period, also one of the biggest naval forces in Southeast Asia, with a mix of foreign-made and nationally produced vessels. Divided into 3 Fleet Commands, a naval air service and the Marine Corps, the 2nd oldest (after Thailand) in Southeast Asia.

** Recently, TNI AD has also purchased [=MBTs=], specifically Leopards, for the Kostrad. The decision was questioned because Indonesian terrain isn't ideal for 60-ton [=MBTs=] like the Leopard 2:: Java has to many open terrain but primary staple is rice which is planted on muddy rice paddies, so open terrain is muddy; elsewhere either has limited open terrain or mountainous, to solve these problems a new medium tank is being made with Turkish assistance to adapt to the wide range of terrain the country has- the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Medium_Weight_Tank MMWT]]- or (as Indonesians call it) the Pindad Harimau (Tiger; no relation to the German Tiger I of [=WW2=] fame)

* The KOPASKA or Naval Frogmen Unit, modeled on the Navy SEALs and with a similar recruiting policy (and have continued joint training with them as it was in the early days of its formation). Organized into three Battalion Combat Teams with 6 Teams per fleet command.

* In ''Series/TheLastOfUs2023'', they briefly appears in the ColdOpen of Episode 2, trying to contain the first known Cordyceps infection cases in Jakarta. The mycologist they enlisted to study the cadaver of the infected declares that a cure is a lost cause and advising them to [[GodzillaThreshold level the entire city to the ground along with its citizens to prevent the further spread of the fungi]]. It is currently unknown whether they had carried out the deed or not, but whatever they did it done little to halt the Cordyceps to spread to the rest of the world.

* Indonesian armed forces are the player's opponent in ''AV-8B Harrier Assault'' game, a combination of combat flight simulator and RTS. The game has a hypothetical conflict scenario with a US Navy taskforce trying to liberate the East Timor island from Indonesian military presence.

Oldest of the services, as per Wiki/TheOtherWiki the Army - in its beginnings made up of both pro-Japan militias and the anti-Japanese resistance fighters - is also the biggest and has the lion's share of the defense budget and modern equipment. Has 15 territorial divisional commands plus the Strategic Reserve Command, the Kopassus, the Women's Army Corps and the Army Air Service. Several of these commands trace their lineage and battle honors to the National Revolution years.

* In the ''Literature/TheTomorrowSeries'' it is heavily implied that they are the unnamed enemy invading Australia. It's also possible the enemy are UsefulNotes/ChineseWithChopperSupport, or perhaps an alliance of the two. This is never confirmed however.

* Paskhas

* The police force is called Polri (Polisi Republik Indonesia). Regional units are called Polda (Polisi Daerah). Formerly a part of the Armed Forces, today the POLRI is a directly reporting agency of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Office of the President.

* The Brimob (Brigade Mobil) is pretty much the Indonesian SWAT, only they're less specialized and often perform tasks commonly done by the normal cops in foreign countries. Founded in 1946, recognized by their light blue berets pushed to the left (common in the police unlike in the armed forces, whose berets are pushed to the right sans the Military Police), and organized as a full Corps with regional regiments nationwide.

* The KOPASKA or Naval Frogmen Unit, modeled on the Navy SEALs and with a similar recruiting policy (and have continued joint training with them as it was in the early days of its formation). Organized into two Battalion Combat Teams with 6 Teams per fleet command.
* Marine Force Recon (''Yontalfib'') is organized as a regiment of 2 special force recon battalions within the Marine Corps. Known for their violet berets.
* The Paskhas (Air Special Forces), actually the oldest, having been raised during the National Revolution, is a ground combat unit that is capable of operating on land, sea, and air for capture and defense of airfields and air installations. Recognized by their orange berets.
* The Army Strategic Reserve (Kostrad, founded by soon to be President Suharto, himself a veteran of the National Revolution, in 1962) serves as the elite national reserve service of the army and the armed forces. These active reserves also get a share in the new equipment and vehicles in service in the TNI-AD. They are recognized by their green berets.

* The standard service rifle is the [=SS1=] (Senapan Serbu = assault rifle), a licensed copy of the Belgian FN FNC carbine made by the government corporation (BUMN) HK G3, M16 and 5.56 mm AK variants are also used, the latter oddly enough are more often seen in the hand of cops guarding [=ATMs=] while they're being filled. The M16 is still the most widespread assault rifles in use. The spec ops units often use M4, HK G36, Steyr-Mannlicher AUG, and HK 416. There are also some Galil assault rifles in use, though it seems nobody will admit where they came from. Recently, PT Pindad started manufacturing an assault rifle called the [=SS2=], which looks like an M16 with AK gas block (despite the looks, it is actually a heavily modified FNC design rather than M16), reversed front sight and slightly different detachable carrying handle.
* As for sniper rifles, they mostly use the Remington 700, HK [=G3SG1=] and the much-hated Galil-Galatz. The special forces also use the PGM Hecate II, a .50 caliber French bolt-action rifle.
* They own several French AMX light tanks, as main battle tanks aren't suitable for the Indonesian streets. They also operate BTR-80 and BTR-50 armored personnel carriers and V-150 Commando and M113 IFV-s. Early Cold War-era British armored cars also appear occassionally. Land Rover Defenders and Singapore's Flyer are used by both the police and the army, sometimes mounted with anti-aircraft guns or Singapore's CIS automatic grenade launchers. The South African Casspir is used by the police. As for the local ones, Pindad also has started producing the Pindad Panser (meaning armored car), a rather plain looking APC. Some BMP-2 and PT-76 are in use by the marine corps, as well as a small number of BMP-3. They have also made several anti-riot vehicles. Recently, some Leopard 2 tanks alongside Marder IFV have been purchased from the Netherlands, plus the nationally produced Pindad Panser Anoa APC series.
** Recently, TNI AD has purchased MBT, specifically Leopards, for the Kostrad. The decision is questioned as Indonesia has limited use of it because Indonesian Terrain doesn't support it: Java has to many open terrain but primary staple is rice which is planted on muddy rice paddies, so open terrain is muddy; elsewhere either has limited open terrain or mountainous, to solve these problems a new medium tank is being made with Turkish assistance to adapt to the wide range of terrain the country has.
* They have F-16 and Su-27 fighters (plus new Su-30MK2s). They also have A-4 Skyhawk and OV-10 Bronco ground attack crafts and BAE Hawk light fighters, but don't like to admit it, the former because they were bought from Israel, and the latter because they were bought for COIN operations in East Timor (alongside the Hawks). The TNI AU is the second military force outside of the US to operate the C-130 Hercules cargo planes. They have several black Mi-24 Hind gunships. The Mi-8 Hip helicopter is used by both the army and the police. The navy owns several types of naval helicopters, mostly British, plus nationally made transports.
** Indonesia has a rare record of few nations which their F-16-s have accidents. This happened 5 times in 3 decades.

** The fact that Suharto would later become a dictator who served for 31 years in the presidential office is the OldShame of the unit, especially veterans who served under him when he was the founding commanding general from 1962 to 1965, when he was promoted to Chief of the Army after distinguishing himself in the events of the 30 September Movement attempted coup that very same year in the capital area. (Not much bad given the ban on Communism that started under his government, and it's an established fact.)
** Another such old shame is the 2nd commanding general, vice-president Umar Wirahadikusumah (in office 1983-88). He served this capacity from 1965-1967 and had been involved in the anti-communist activties after the September failed coup alongside the corps he led. He was formerly the founding commander of Jakarta Command.

* They own several French AMX light tanks, as main battle tanks aren't suitable for the Indonesian streets... Or so they think. Indonesian buildings aren't very tough, you see. They also operate BTR-80 and BTR-50 armored personnel carriers and V-150 Commando and M113 IFV-s. Early Cold War-era British armored cars also appear occassionally. Land Rover Defenders and Singapore's Flyer are used by both the police and the army, sometimes mounted with anti-aircraft guns or Singapore's CIS automatic grenade launchers. The South African Casspir is used by the police. Also, the older BTR APCs are very very rickety: some of them sank during amphibious assault trainings. As for the local ones, Pindad also has started producing the Pindad Panser (meaning armored car), a rather plain looking APC, but that wouldn't be necessarily bad if Indonesia's equipments didn't have the nasty tendency to fall apart at the worst possible moment. Some BMP-2 and PT-76 are in use by the marine corps, as well as a small number of BMP-3. They have also made several anti-riot vehicles. Recently, some Leopard 2 tanks alongside Marder IFV have been purchased from the Netherlands, plus the nationally produced Pindad Panser Anoa APC series.
