Abstract
The Indonesian Air Force is the armed force responsible for the defense operations of the Republic of Indonesia in the air. Soewondo Air Force Base is part of the Indonesian Air Force Operational Command I based in Medan, North Sumatra, which has twelve disaster risk threats, namely earthquakes and tsunamis, extreme waves and abrasion, forest and land fires, floods, volcanoes, landslides, floods. Flashes, droughts, epidemics, and plagues. The Indonesian Air Force needs adequate logistical support to carry out disaster management tasks. Frequent disasters and areas of North Sumatra Province that are difficult to reach when disasters occur make it difficult for aid to be distributed. Thus, the role of the Indonesian Air Force is vital in assisting disaster management. The purpose of this study is to analyze logistical support, the use of logistics, and logistical support strategies in implementing disaster management at Soewondo Air Force Base in non-war military operations. This research uses qualitative method, data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and literature study. The study results show that the logistical support for Soewondo Air Base for Disaster Management is currently through the provision of aircraft used in sending aid, preparing personnel, using the airfield as a temporary hospital, and other logistical assistance such as setting up tents. Logistical support for disaster management in the Soewondo Air Base area still comes from the BPBD and the local Regional Government. This research has implications for improving logistical support strategies in implementing disaster management in the air operations area of Soewondo Air Base in the context of military operations other than war
