Rindam
Main Regiments of the Military Area Commands (Indonesian: Resimen Induk Komando Daerah Militer, abbreviated Rindam) are Indonesian training centers and regimental depots serving newly recruited enlisted personnel of the 15 Military Area Commands of the Indonesian Army. These regiments are the regional command's home base for recruiting and training of personnel within their areas of responsibility.
Definition edit
Rindams are defined as a military educational institution under the direct control of the Military Area Command for enlisted and non-commissioned officers[1][2] (other than Akmil, Seskoad, and Secapa) which have the main task of helping organize military training and education for all ranks of the RMC (Kodam) to produce soldiers who are professional, reliable, quality and have achieved basic military skills and tactical work for peace and wartime actions and are loved by the people not just of their communities but of the country at large. [3] [4] Rindam has several units in charge of conducting first, vocational and qualification education (Secata, Secaba, Dodiklatpur, Dodikjur, and Dodikbelanegara). Main Regiments are stationed in all 15 territorial commands of the Indonesian Army and are stationed in key Indonesian cities. [5]

Each Main Regiments is led by a Commander commonly called Danrindam (Commandant of the Kodam Main Regiment) who is of Colonel rank, and is organized into :
- Headquarters

- Satuan Dodik Kejuruan (Specialized Training Command Unit)
- Sekolah Calon Bintara (Non-Commissioned Officer Candidate School)

When the Armed Forces Reserve Component was officially activated in 2021, 6 regional Rindam regiments gained an additional reserve battalion for the training and education of reserve personnel of the Army under these battalions, which come from all sectors of society.[6][7] Each reserve battalion has 550 personnel and are under the direct control of the Rindam for training purposes.

These battalions provide necessary training for personnel advancement into NCO status.
