Indonesia’s Maritime Security Challenges and Implications of The Marine Corps Modernization
Kata Kunci:
Maritime Security, Marine Corps ModernizationAbstrak
Indonesia’s vast maritime domain faces a growing array of traditional and non-traditional security threats, necessitating a strategic transformation of its maritime defense posture. This study examines the challenges confronting Indonesia’s maritime security and analyzes the implications of Marine Corps modernization through the lens of Clausewitz’s Ends-Ways-Means framework. Using a qualitative, literature-based method, the research explores the alignment between Indonesia’s national security objectives (ends), the strategic approaches employed (ways), and the resources available to support them (means). Findings reveal a clear strategic intent to enhance deterrence and regional maritime leadership; however, capability gaps and resource limitations present significant obstacles. The study concludes that successful modernization requires not only equipment upgrades, but also doctrinal reform, joint integration, and sustained investment to ensure operational readiness and strategic coherence in the Indo-Pacific maritime theater.
