Abstract
There are demands for defense educational institution to contribute in general knowledge, not only in the substance of war and defense science. It is also related to current threat against a country that is no longer just conventional, but also non-conventional threats that cover dynamics in civil society. This paper will discuss civil-military integration (CMI) in the development of education in military and defense institutions in Indonesia. It will also offer five levels of CMI in education. Each level has different CMI weights in education. In addition, this paper argues that CMI as part of Civil-Military Relations (CMR) provides a perspective that the development of education in military and defense institution can not simply adopt the general education system and pattern in civil institutions, but require the integration of mutually reinforcing and confirms the characteristics and patterns of education in professional military institution without losing the distinctiveness of education in the defense institution.
Highlights
Defense educational institution in Indonesia is experiencing rapid development, marked by the founding of Indonesian Defense University that focuses on Post-graduate Scientific Development (Master Program) and currently designing the doctoral program (Note 1)
The presence of UNHAN with its post-graduate programs encourages other defense institutions, Army, Navy, Air Force and Ministry of Defense to enroll their best personnel to study in UNHAN

Summary
Defense educational institution in Indonesia is experiencing rapid development, marked by the founding of Indonesian Defense University (here after UNHAN) that focuses on Post-graduate Scientific Development (Master Program) and currently designing the doctoral program (Note 1). The presence of UNHAN with its post-graduate programs encourages other defense institutions, Army, Navy, Air Force and Ministry of Defense to enroll their best personnel to study in UNHAN This university under Ministry of Defense accepts students from other institutions related to defense and security issues, in the scheme of a full scholarship (Note 2). The problem re-appears when graduated officer from the military academy do not have undergraduate education certificates and Master Degrees graduated of UNHAN are not accepted by other universities with Doctoral program. UNHAN experiences above shows that the management and development of education in the defense institution require important adjustment in mechanism at the national level This adjustment does not have to eliminate education character in military institutions. This paper argues that CMI as part of a Civil-Military Relations (CMR) provides a perspective that the development of education in the military and defense institution can not adopt the system and pattern of education applied in civilian institutions, but requires integration of mutually reinforcing and confirms the characteristics and patterns of education in professional military institution without losing the distinctiveness of education in the defense institution
