Program TNI Manunggal Membangun Desa (TMMD) merupakan salah satu program
terpadu antara TNI Angkatan Darat dan pemerintah daerah yang bertujuan untuk
mempercepat pembangunan di wilayah pedesaan sekaligus memperkuat kemanunggalan
TNI dengan rakyat. Program ini tidak hanya menekankan pada pembangunan fisik, tetapi
juga pada pembangunan sosial melalui interaksi dan kerja sama antara TNI AD dan
masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis bentuk
relasi sosial yang terjalin antara TNI AD dan masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan program
TMMD di Desa Teureubeh, Kecamatan Kota Jantho.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus.
Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi langsung di lokasi kegiatan TMMD,
wawancara mendalam dengan anggota TNI AD yang terlibat dalam program, aparatur
desa, serta masyarakat Desa Teureubeh, dan didukung dengan dokumentasi terkait
pelaksanaan program. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis melalui tahapan reduksi data,
penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa relasi
sosial antara TNI AD dan masyarakat Desa Teureubeh terbangun melalui berbagai bentuk
interaksi sosial, seperti kerja bakti bersama, komunikasi yang intensif, serta keterlibatan
masyarakat dalam setiap tahapan pelaksanaan TMMD. Relasi tersebut bersifat kooperatif
dan partisipatif, yang tercermin dari adanya rasa saling percaya, solidaritas sosial, dan
keterbukaan antara TNI AD dan masyarakat.
Kehadiran TNI AD dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat selama pelaksanaan TMMD
juga memberikan dampak positif terhadap persepsi masyarakat terhadap institusi TNI.
Meskipun demikian, penelitian ini juga menemukan beberapa kendala, antara lain
keterbatasan waktu pelaksanaan program dan perbedaan latar belakang sosial budaya
yang memerlukan proses adaptasi. Secara keseluruhan, program TMMD berkontribusi
dalam memperkuat relasi sosial antara TNI AD dan masyarakat serta mendorong
partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembangunan desa.

ABSTRACT The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) Manunggal Membangun Desa (TMMD) Program is an integrated initiative between the Indonesian Army (TNI AD) and local governments aimed at accelerating rural development while strengthening the unity between the Indonesian Army and the community. The program emphasizes not only physical infrastructure development but also social development through interaction and cooperation between the Indonesian Army and local communities. This study aims to describe and analyze the forms of social relations established between the Indonesian Army and the community during the implementation of the TMMD Program in Teureubeh Village, Kota Jantho District. This study employed a qualitative research method using a case study approach. Data were collected through direct observation at the TMMD project site, indepth interviews with Indonesian Army personnel involved in the program, village officials, and residents of Teureubeh Village, as well as documentation related to the implementation of the program. The collected data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the social relations between the Indonesian Army and the community of Teureubeh Village were established through various forms of social interaction, including mutual cooperation activities, intensive communication, and community involvement in every stage of the TMMD implementation. These relationships were cooperative and participatory in nature, as reflected in the existence of mutual trust, social solidarity, and openness between the Indonesian Army and the community. The presence of the Indonesian Army in the daily lives of the community throughout the implementation of the TMMD Program also had a positive impact on the community's perception of the military institution. Nevertheless, the study identified several challenges, including the limited duration of the program and differences in socio-cultural backgrounds that required a process of adaptation. Overall, the TMMD Program contributes to strengthening social relations between the Indonesian Army and the community while encouraging community participation in rural development.
