Pakar Nilai Mayjen Achiruddin Kembali Menjadi Danpaspampres atas Bentuk Kepercayaan Prabowo

Mayjen TNI Achiruddin Darojat has resumed his position as the Commander of the Presidential Security Force (Danpaspampres). His return to this role is seen as a form of trust from President Prabowo Subianto in a crucial position.

Background

• Previous Appointment: Achiruddin first served as Danpaspampres in November 2023, replacing Mayjen TNI Rafael Granada Baay.

• Interim Assignment: Following his initial tenure, Achiruddin was reassigned as the Commander of Kodam Mulawarman through a decree signed by the TNI Commander on October 18, 2024.

• Recent Rotation: In the latest round of military rotations, Achiruddin was reinstated as Danpaspampres, emphasizing the President’s prioritization of trust and competence in key positions.

Strategic Placement

Analysts, such as Khairul Fahmi from the Institute for Security and Strategic Studies (ISESS), view Achiruddin’s placement as a strategic correction, retaining a trusted figure for the significant responsibility of directly securing the President. This move underscores the President’s emphasis on trust and competence in crucial appointments within the security apparatus.

Alongside Achiruddin’s reinstatement, approximately 300 TNI officers underwent rotations and mutations, including the appointment of Lt. Gen. TNI Mohammad Fadjar as the new Commander of Kostrad. Changes in key positions, such as the Head of the National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN), reflect the government’s focus on ensuring control over digital data and communications amidst evolving cyber threats.

These strategic appointments aim to address complex challenges in the digital realm and safeguard national interests across economic and political sectors.
