Indonesia’s Military Strength in Numbers

The Indonesian Armed Forces (Tentera Nasional Indonesia, or TNI) has seen huge budget increases over the years.

Indonesia’s defence budget has grown significantly during Yudhoyono and Jokowi’s tenure from IDR22 trillion (USD1.7 billion) in 2005 to IDR95 trillion in 2015, making Indonesia’s military the 12th most powerful in the world according to the Global Fire Power Index, even exceeding Australia!

Going beyond military equipment totals and perceived fighting strength is the actual manpower that drives a given military. Wars of attrition favour those with more.
