The knowledge and understanding of each soldier concerning various provisions of law is an absolute prerequisite to realize a law-abiding and law-conscious professional. It is a normative-juridical research. The research was conducted in Jayapura city, Papua Province, Indonesia. The results show that Desertion is a pure military crime and as a forbidden act which in principle can only be violated by a military. Due to specific circumstances or because a military interest requires such action is specified as a crime that is expressly set and threatened in article 87 of the Military Criminal Code. A good law enforcement strategy for the Indonesian National Army soldiers as desertion offenders can be pursued through the Military Criminal Code, which will be settled through military court. In addition, it can also through the Military Administration Law, by imposing administrative measures such as suspension on every soldier who commits such actions. However, if it cannot be formulated in the laws, at least it can be regulated in the regulation of the Indonesian National Army commander.
