Structure of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for Natural Disaster Management in Making Decisions on Military Operations Other than War in the TNI

Abstract

Disasters have direct consequences that affect human life and the environment. Vulnerability to disasters happens due to a lack of proper disaster management, various environmental impacts, or people’s negligence. The amount of losses in every catastrophe depends on the resilience capacity of the community against disasters. The Indonesian National Military (TNI) as the nation’s guardian and defense component has two main tasks, namely (1) Military Operations for War (Operasi Militer Perang/OMP) and Military Operations Other Than War (Operasi Militer Selain Perang/OMSP). In this case, TNI is carrying out the MOOTW duties, based on RI Law Number 34 of 2002 which states that the TNI is a force that helps the government in handling disasters. TNI plays a significant role in Military Operation Other Than War (MOOTW) that includes leading in disaster management, increasing organizational capacity and operational management in supporting disaster management, boosting cooperation, education and training on disaster management, providing facilities and infrastructure including budget planning and support from the top command of the central and regional governments. This paper is using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by determining the goals, criteria, and the overall sub-criteria for each of the MOOTW criteria/factors and considering options for increasing the budget or cooperation. The results are then used as a reference for decision-making in handling the disasters.
