The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia, formerly the Department of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia is a government ministry responsible for Indonesian defence affairs. The minister is currently Ryamizard Ryacudu.
The Ministry of Defence is the one of three ministries (along with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs) explicitly mentioned in Constitution of Indonesia, which means the three ministries cannot be replaced or dissolved by the President.
If Indonesia's president and vice-president die, resign, or are unable to perform their duties, the Minister of Defence, along with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs, jointly hold the position of the president and the vice-president until the succeeding president and vice-president is elected by the People's Consultative Assembly.
