Selama pemusatan latihan, peserta akan mengikuti latihan luar ruangan seperti baris-berbaris dan pembinaan fisik. Selain itu, peserta juga menerima materi dalam ruangan yang mencakup wawasan kebangsaan, ideologi Pancasila, dan bela negara.

Pelatihan didukung instruktur dari unsur TNI dan Polri, antara lain Rindam XVII/Cenderawasih, Lanud Silas Papare, Kodaeral X Jayapura, serta SPN Polda Papua. Melalui pembinaan ini, Pemprov Papua menargetkan terbentuknya Paskibraka yang disiplin, berkarakter, dan siap menjalankan tugas kenegaraan. ***

JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government has begun training 32 prospective members of the 2026 provincial-level Flag-Raising Troop through a centralized education and training program.

The program was officially opened by Suzana Wanggai, Assistant III of the Papua Regional Secretariat, representing the Governor of Papua, in Jayapura on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

Suzana said that the participants taking part in the training program were among Papua's best young men and women, selected from regencies and cities across the province. They are being prepared to carry out their duties during the commemoration of the 81st Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia.

"You are among the best of the younger generation, selected from the best," Suzana said.

She encouraged all participants to maintain their health and foster a strong sense of togetherness throughout the training program. According to her, teamwork and unity are essential to successfully carrying out their duties as Flag-Raising Troop members.

The participants come from nearly all regencies and cities across Papua, except Mamberamo Raya and Supiori Regencies. However, during the opening ceremony, one participant from Waropen Regency was unable to attend due to technical constraints.

Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Oktavianus Sanda, explained that the provincial-level selection process involved 49 participants. Of that number, 34 were declared successful, comprising 32 provincial-level participants and two participants selected to undergo the national-level training program.

"The participants will undergo 21 days of training, combining physical development with lessons on national values and civic awareness," Oktavianus said.

He added that 31 of the 32 provincial-level participants attended the opening ceremony. The remaining participant is scheduled to join the program on August 1, 2026.

During the centralized training program, participants will take part in outdoor activities, including marching drills and physical training. They will also receive indoor instruction covering national awareness, the ideology of Pancasila, and national defense.

The training program is supported by instructors from the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Indonesian National Police, including personnel from Rindam XVII/Cenderawasih, Silas Papare Air Base, Kodaeral X Jayapura, and the Papua Regional Police's State Police School.

Through this program, the Papua Provincial Government aims to develop a disciplined, resilient, and well-rounded Flag-Raising Troop contingent that is ready to carry out its state duties. ***
