This scientific study highlights the importance of communication strategies in strengthening cooperation between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to support the success of military operations while maintaining national stability during wartime. Using a qualitative approach, this study collected data through in-depth interviews with representatives from the Indonesian National Police Operations Staff, the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob), and the Indonesian National Armed Forces Information Center (Puspen TNI), supplemented by field observations and a SWOT analysis. The results show that the effectiveness of TNI-Polri synergy is significantly influenced by the quality of communication channels, the speed of information delivery, and the consistency of the public narrative. Strategic communication factors have been shown to play a greater role than logistical or technological aspects, as they are able to reduce the fog of war, accelerate the decision-making process, and maintain coordination between units. As a follow-up, this study recommends the development of a real-time integrated communication system based on information technology, the establishment of a cross-agency coordination forum, and the implementation of joint crisis communication training. With the implementation of a planned and comprehensive communication strategy, synergy between the TNI and Polri can become a key pillar in strengthening national resilience amidst increasingly complex and multidimensional threats and maintaining national stability, especially during wartime conditions.
