I. INTRODUCTION

The dynamics of the development of the strategic environment today has an impact on the patterns and dynamics of threats that are increasingly complex and multidimensional. These threats can be in the form of military, non-military threats or a combination of both, namely hybrid threats. These threats are grouped into real and unreal threats. The forms of these threats are the threat of terrorism, separatism, armed rebellion, natural disasters, territorial violations, piracy, natural resource theft, cyber attacks, drug trafficking and abuse. These threats lead to issues on ideological, political, economic, socio-cultural and security factors.Threats can come from international, regional and national carried out by state actors and non-state actors (Indonesian Defense White Paper, 2015). The current regional conditions isstill dominated by several issues of actual threats which include border conflicts and various cross-border crimes, one of which is drug smuggling (Alfajri, 2019).

The threat of spreading and abusing narcotics is classified as a non-military threat because it can interfere with national security in cultural, social and economic dimensions. Distribution and abuse of narcotics in Indonesia is a problem that is currently a concern for the government. Narcotics abuse that is not in accordance with its designation can have a domino effect and can damage the mental and morale of the nation. From the data released by the National Narcotics Agency in 2020, the number of drug crime cases throughout Indonesia reached 40,756 cases (Indonesian Drugs Report BNN, 2020). Drug abuse is related to economic law where demand and supply apply, the demand for illegal drugs in Indonesia is still relatively high, resulting in high supply coming from outside and from within the country.

Based on data released by the Regional Police (Polda) of West Kalimantan, throughout 2020, 760 drug cases have been revealed with a total of 54.9 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, 11.5 kilograms of marijuana and 19,500 ecstasy pills.Table 1.
