Aspiring managers of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP) in Indonesia are participating in basic military training as part of the Indonesian Development Driver Bachelor Program (SPPI). The training includes drills in military discipline and marching regulations (PBB). This initiative aims to equip future cooperative leaders with skills beyond traditional business management. The program appears to focus on instilling discipline and potentially preparedness for operating in rural or challenging environments. Details regarding the rationale behind incorporating military training into cooperative management development were not immediately available. The training is currently underway with a cohort of SPPI participants. This represents an unusual approach to leadership development within the Indonesian cooperative sector.
