PERAN PRAJURIT AKADEMI MILITER DALAM MENDUKUNG PROGRAM MAKAN BERGIZI GRATIS (MBG) DI WILAYAH KOTA MAGELANG
Abstract
This study explores the role of cadets from the Indonesian Military Academy (Akmil) in supporting the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) in Magelang City. The research aims to analyze how military cadets, as agents of social change and defense human resources, participate in the national food security initiative through active, passive, and participatory roles. Using Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of social roles and a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that cadets play a significant active role in operational assistance, a passive role in maintaining discipline and order during distribution, and a participatory role in community engagement and health education. This collaboration between the military and the civilian government not only enhances the success of the MBG program but also strengthens civil-military relations and public trust in the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI). The study concludes that the involvement of Akmil cadets exemplifies an integrative model of national defense contribution through social service and humanitarian engagement.
