COVID-19 is an ongoing global pandemic which caused 1,566,995 confirmed cases, 109,958 active cases with 42,530 deaths from the virus per 4 April 2021. Due to the gravity of the impact of the pandemic, the government of Indonesia has established the COVID-19 Pandemic as a national disaster of the non-natural category. Effort that can be pursued to combat this pandemic is the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines. In order to to ensure optimal delivery of the target of the vaccination program, a robust logistic system must be prepared. However, Indonesia’s logistic infrastructure condition can be generally described as poor, impacting on the country low logistic performance. Papua is one of the region in Indonesia with high logistical barrier due to geographical challenge and poor infrastructure ergo would hinder the vaccination effort of the province. TNI’s (Indonesian Armed Force) military operation other than war (MOOTW) function, with all its drawback, is explored as one solution in this research and would analyze the role and potential if the option is chosen. Qualitative analysis shows that TNI would have 3 roles during MOOTW, such as to provide logistical airlift of vaccine; to protect personnels and infrastructures involved in vaccination effort; and to serve as additional manpower in vaccination effort. TNI has the potential to answer these roles with the following operational costs and manpower (garrison) costs: Cost per Flight Hour (CPFH) for 2-dose target is at USD 576/flight hour and for 3-dose target is at USD 577/flight hour, requiring a garrison of a minimum of 280 soldiers and maximum 1400 soldiers (depends on the zone) for a one-day cycle per zone territory.
