Optimalisasi Sistem Logistik Ekspedisioner Korps Marinir dalam Mendukung Archipelagic Sea Lanes Defense di Alur Laut Kepulauan Indonesia (ALKI) II

Abstract

Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelagic state consisting of 17,504 islands, holds a strategic maritime position underscored by the designation of three Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lanes (ALKI) based on UNCLOS 1982. This research focuses on ALKI II, a vital 1,500-kilometer corridor connecting the Sulawesi Sea to the Indian Ocean through the Makassar Strait and Lombok Strait, which presents both economic opportunities and significant security challenges with an estimated 15,000-20,000 vessel transits annually. The Indonesian Marine Corps, comprising 27,000 personnel organized into three divisions, serves as a primary component of maritime defense and requires an agile and responsive logistics system to effectively conduct its expeditionary missions. This study aims to formulate a conceptual model for optimizing the Marine Corps' expeditionary logistics system to support the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Defense in ALKI II. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this paper analyzes existing doctrines, government regulations, and relevant academic studies. The results indicate that optimization can be achieved through a multi-faceted model encompassing: (1) accelerating digital transformation for real-time logistics management with projected 40-50% reduction in response time; (2) implementing a hybrid model of pre-positioned supplies and sea-based mobile logistics platforms; (3) enhancing joint and inter-agency logistics coordination following the 3C's approach (Coordination, Collaboration, Communication); and (4) developing modular and scalable logistics packages tailored for various operational scenarios with a standard logistics-to-combat personnel ratio of 1:3 to 1:4. The implementation of this model is expected to significantly increase the readiness, speed, and sustainability of the Marine Corps in securing national sovereignty within the ALKI II corridor.
