Abstract

The Alpha Fleet’s security operations along West Archipelagic Sea Lanes (ASL) demonstrate focused efforts to maintain Indonesia's maritime sovereignty through strategic naval deployments and sea control measures. This study specifically examines how operational strategies for sea lanes protection, fleet readiness, and logistics support are applied by The Alpha Fleet Command to secure West ASL against sovereignty violations and maritime threats. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through document analysis, in-depth interviews, and targeted field observations, the research analyzes the planning, execution, and evaluation of security operations across West ASL corridor. The findings aim to identify concrete operational patterns, key supporting and inhibiting factors, and the direct contribution of these naval strategies to enhancing national maritime security and regional stability along Indonesia's primary archipelagic sea lanes
