National Resilience Institute

The National Defense Institute was established on 20 May 1965, based on Government Regulation No. 37/1964, and is directly under the President. The idea of the formation of the agency is to create an educational institute in defense to prepare and develop future national leaders (civil servants and military officers) in the context of political strategy and national defense. In 1983, the agency was placed under the Commander of National Armed Forces and became part of the executive agency within the National Armed Forces HQ. In 1994, this agency was renamed the National Resilience Institute and placed directly under the Minister of Defense and Security. In 2001, along with several other agencies, the National Resilience Institute became a non-departmental government agency that directly reports to the President. In 2006, the position of the Governor of the National Resilience Institute is equivalent to the position of the Minister. Since 2016, the National Resilience Institute is regulated by Presidential Decree No. 98/2016 on the Nasional Resilience Institute. ==Tasks and functions==
