Abstract :
Disaster is one type of non-military threat
that can disrupt a country's national security. Indonesia
is a country that has large islands in it. With these large
islands, Indonesia also has vast forests. However, one of
the problems with the extent of forests in Indonesia is
forest and land fires. Forest and land fires become a
serious problem when the dry season comes. Moreover,
the impact of forest and land fires has become a
problem between countries because of the smoke they
cause. There are many losses arising from forest and
land fires such as the economy, health, mobility. The
complexity of the impact of forest and land fires
requires contributions from various parties such as the
regional government and also from the military. This
study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data
collection was carried out by means of a Focus Group
Discussion (FGD) with sources from the Indonesian
National Armed Forces at the 031 Wirabima Military
Resort Command and also a literature review. The
results of this study are that the collaboration carried
out is manifested in several actions to prevent forest
and land fires such as re-mapping disaster-prone areas,
using information systems or early warning
applications, patrolling, outreach, fostering and
increasing the role of Fire Concerned Communities
(MPA), peatland rewetting. The success of the
collaboration can be seen from a significant decrease
from 2020 to 2022.
