Kekuatan militer Amerika saat ini memanglah yang terkuat didunia mereka di perlengkapi dengan berbagai peralatan serta senjata senjata canggih banding dengan militer Indonesia yang cuma memakai persenjataan yang telah jadul, tetapi walaupun begitu janganlah anggap remeh tentara Indonesia ternyata mempunyai kekuatan yang hebat dibandingkan dengan pasukan Amerika.

Latihan TNI Bersama AS

Buktinya yaitu saat pasukan TNI latihan dengan pasukan marini Amerika. Sepuluh prajurit Marinir Amerika yang disebut United States Marine Corps (USMC) terpaksa mesti dievakuasi akibat kelelahan waktu melakukan latihan bertahan hidup di dalam rimba Selogiri, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur, Selasa. Staf Dinas Penerangan (Dispen) Korps Marinir Lettu Mar Mardiono melaporkan sejak Senin (19/10) sampai Selasa (20/10), terdaftar 10 prajurit Marinir Amerika yang rubuh dan tak mampu meneruskan latihan survival akibat kelelahan serta tidak tahan dengan cuaca tropis.

“Misalnya, Ranus (26) yang berpangkat BFC serta kelahiran California, adalah satu diantara 10 Prajurit Marinir Amerika yang terpaksa mesti dievakuasi tim medis dari Korps Marinir Indonesia, ” tuturnya, didampingi rekannya Serda Mar Kuwadi.

Prajurit pasukan khusus Intai Amfibi Marinir TNI AL lakukan “Swamp Forest Patrol” atau patroli dalam rawa lokasi hutan bakau Parang Kursi, Lampon, Pesanggaran, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur, Rabu (8/4). Latihan itu adalah sisi dari Latihan Standar Kekuatan Perseorangan Basic (SKPD) serta Latihan Standar Kekuatan Perseorangan Lanjutan (SKPL), yang terdiri dari menembak reaksi serta barikade, menembak tempur offensif dan melakukan patroli intai tempur serta taktik keadaan tertentu.

Latihan Survival itu diikuti 362 Marinir Amerika yang dipandu 16 pelatih, tiga

interpreter (penerjemah), empat personel komunikasi, serta lima Prajurit Regu Pandu Tempur (Rupanpur) Korps Marinir TNI AL. Kegiatan survival ini adalah sisi dari rangkaian Latihan berbarengan (latma) Marinir Amerika serta Indonesia yang bertopik “Interoperability Field Training Exercise (IIP/FTX) .

Latma yang dikomandani Kolonel Marinir Nur Alamsyah itu dikerjakan di empat tempat, yakni di Pantai Banongan, Puslatpur Marinir Karangtekok, Kecamatan Banyu Putih, Situbondo, Pasewaran, serta rimba Selogiri Banyuwangi. Di Selogiri, 362 Prajurit Marinir Amerika yang menjelajahi rimba liar itu dibagi jadi dua gelombang yang tiap-tiap gelombang dibagi jadi lima tim dengan didampingi pelatih serta dokter dari Korps Marinir TNI AL.

Satu per satu tim diberangkatkan masuk ke dalam rimba, namun panitia telah menyiapkan rintangngan serta jebakan ranjau yang dipasang sedemikian rupa sebagai tantangan, hingga sesekali terdengar nada ranjau yang meledak dari balik rerimbunan rimba. Ledakan itu bikin para prajurit kalang kabut, tetapi mereka tetaplah sama-sama berkoordinasi dalam satu komando dengan komandan regunya.

Sebelum melakukan perang didalam hutan, beberapa prajurit Marinir Amerika itu dibekali sebagian pengetahuan serta wawasan terkait langkah bertahan hidup didalam rimba. “Mereka juga kami ajari bagaimana cara makan tumbuh-tumbuhan di rimba, hadapi hewan salah satunya ular serta beberapa type binatang buas, ” kata Kepala Tim (Katim) Survival Kapten Marinir M Machfud.

Pelatih yang lain, Pelda Marinir Mujiono mempraktikkan bagaimana cara yang benar dalam menjinakkan ular. Beberapa prajurit Marinir Amerika ada juga yang coba makan beberapa type tumbuhan liar. Dengan bekal logistik yang terbatas, seseorang tentara memanglah dituntut bertahan hidup. Setiap gelombang Latihan Survival itu memakan saat empat hari empat malam.

“Mereka hadapi tantangan berat, walau mereka membawa perlengkapan tempur seperti senapan laras panjang M. 16 A4, GPMG, senjata canggih yang lain yang dilengkapi dengan infra merah, peralatan komunikasi yang cukup canggih, serta alat digital panduan posisi di bumi (Global Positioning Sistem/GPS), ” tuturnya.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
