He explained that psychological support is not only intended to address problems when personnel encounter difficulties, but also forms part of efforts to maintain balance, solidarity, and readiness among personnel throughout their deployment.

Activities such as this provide personnel with an opportunity to maintain their psychological well-being while interacting directly with local residents,” said the Deputy Head of the Operation.
The Deputy Head of the Operation emphasized that every personnel member is expected to carry out their duties while maintaining a human-centered attitude, respecting the community, and contributing to security and public order in their area of deployment.
Meanwhile, the Psychological Team of the 2026 Cartenz Peace Operation Support Task Force provided assistance to personnel by prioritizing communication and approaches tailored to their needs. Personnel were also encouraged to support one another and maintain positive communication within their deployment environment.
The activity served not only as a means of strengthening personnel’s understanding of the importance of maintaining psychological well-being, but also as an opportunity to foster solidarity and togetherness among members of the Sinak Sector Tactical Unit.
Amid their duties in the operational area, personnel are also continuously encouraged to maintain good relations with the community. Simple interactions through greetings, direct communication, and sharing snacks form part of efforts to foster an image of security personnel who are approachable and open to the community.
Through this activity, the 2026 Cartenz Peace Operation Police Task Force demonstrates that operational readiness is determined not only by technical and operational capabilities, but also by personnel’s mental well-being and their ability to establish good communication with the community.
Psychological support for personnel and human-centered interaction with the community are expected to remain an integral part of the duties carried out by the 2026 Cartenz Peace Operation Task Force in the Sinak Sector, enabling personnel to perform their duties effectively while continuing to prioritize a human-centered approach, communication, and concern for the community.
