Bakamla is a non-ministerial government institution which reports directly to the President through Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs. Bakamla’s duty is to conduct security and safety patrols in the territorial waters of Indonesia and the jurisdiction of Indonesia. Previously Bakamla was a non-structural institution called the Coordinating Agency for the Security of the Republic of Indonesia (Badan Koordinasi Keamanan Laut Republik Indonesia \u2013 Bakorkamla). The agency is not part or associated with the Indonesian National Armed Forces, although its top-ranking leadership are handpicked from the Indonesian Navy. Bakamla and the Indonesian Navy, however, often conduct exercises and joint-operation together. While during search-and-rescue operations, Bakamla also conduct joint-operations with the National Search and Rescue Agency.President Joko Widodo officially announced the establishment of Bakamla to coincide with the 2014 Nusantara Day celebration held in Kotabaru, South Kalimantan. During the occasion, the President mentioned that Bakamla would be coordinated by the Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security. Meanwhile, in the management and utilization of marine resources, Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs would coordinate with the Coordinating Minister for the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.[4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Bakamla is not associated with the Indonesian Sea and Coast Guard Unit (Kesatuan Penjagaan Laut dan Pantai Republik Indonesia – KPLP). While the former is under the jurisdiction of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, the latter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. Both of them however has similar roles and functions.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Function[edit]Vision and Mission[edit]Organisation[edit]Academy[edit]Operational areas[edit]Equipment[edit]Vessels[edit]Weaponry[edit]Rank structure[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Maritime Security Coordinating Board (Badan Koordinasi Keamanan Laut)  initially had been formed in 1972 through a joint decree of the Minister of Defense and Security \/ Commander of the Armed Forces, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Finance, Minister of Justice and Attorney General, No. KEP\/B\/45\/XII\/1972; SK\/901\/M\/1972; KEP.779\/MK\/III\/12\/1972; J.S.8 \/72\/1; KEP-085\/J.A\/12\/1972 on the Establishment of Marine Safety Coordinating Board and the Joint Command Operations Marine Safety.Due to changes on governance and development of the strategic environment in 2003, Maritime Security Coordinating Board requires refreshment to improve coordination among various government agencies in the field of maritime security.
