Result of research on the highest priority and the most important criteria: (1) for Factor: Deterrent Power; (2) for Pattern: Budgeting; and (3) for Actor: the Thailand Kingdom. In this study we analyzed the implementation of eight key competences of Michael Zwell, ie, beliefs and values, skills, experience, personality traits, motivation, control emotional issues, intellectual ability, and the culture of the organization in six patterns for the formation of national defense reserve component in the Kingdom of Thailand, namely recruitment, training (development), use (utilities), closure, reward and punishment, and budgeting. The result of the analysis shows that the model and the development time in military basic training phase has the highest priority in improving the competence of members of the reserve component. In order to increase the deterrent power of the nation and country, Indonesia needs the competence of members of the reserve components that are national resources defense. Therefore, to improve the competence of defense reserve component member of the country, Indonesia needs to implement eight key competences of Michael Zwell into the military basic training curriculum, which is the part of a national programme to defend the country, and put the Ministry of Defence as a leading sector.
