The [[Indonesian Military Academy]]<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.akmil.ac.id/| title = Akademi Militer {{!}} Center Of Excellence| access-date = April 20, 2007| archive-date = May 8, 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070508051312/http://www.akmil.ac.id/| url-status = live}}</ref> was founded in [[Yogyakarta]], October 13, 1945, by the order of General Staff Chief of Indonesia Army Lieutenant General [[Urip Sumohardjo]] as the Militaire Academie (MA) [[Yogyakarta]].

Currently, the Tentara Nasional Indonesia or the TNI ([[Indonesian National Armed Forces]]), under the supervision of the Commanding General of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Academy System (a two or three-star officer in billet) in the HQ of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, has divided the academies into the three respective services:

* [[Indonesian Military Academy]] (''Akademi Militer''; Akmil), in [[Magelang]], [[Central Java]], is under the supervision of the [[Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army]], operated since 1946.
* [[Indonesian Naval Academy]] (''Akademi Angkatan Laut''; AAL), in [[Surabaya]], [[East Java]], is under the supervision of the [[Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy]]. The Indonesian Naval Academy also educates and forms officers to serve in the [[Indonesian Marine Corps]]. In existence since 1951. 
* [[Indonesian Air Force Academy]] (''Akademi Angkatan Udara''; AAU), in [[Yogyakarta]], is under the supervision of the [[Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force]]. The academy has three majorings which are: electronics, engineering, and administration. Following graduation, students who are selected as Pilot and Navigator conduct further training in the Pilot and Navigator Flight School prior bearing the Pilot/Navigator designation. Active since 1945 (with its current form since 1965), but also inherits the traditions of former Dutch military aviation schools.

Each service academy is headed by a two-star general who serves as superintendent, and his/her deputy is a one-star officer. All the students (cadets/midshipman) are recruited from senior high school graduates from all over Indonesia. Shortly after graduation, they are commissioned as ''Letnan Dua'' ([[Second Lieutenant]]/[[Ensign (rank)|Ensign]]) in their respective service branches and receive a bachelor's degree comparable to those awarded by civil academies or universities. The length term is now 4 years and is divided into five grades of cadets' ranks, starting from the lowest:

* ''Prajurit Taruna'' (Cadet Private), 1st year (4 months)
* ''Kopral Taruna'' (Cadet Corporal), 1st year (8 months)
* ''Sersan Taruna'' (Cadet Sergeant), 2nd year
* ''Sersan Mayor Dua Taruna'' (Cadet Second Sergeant Major), 3rd year
* ''Sersan Mayor Satu Taruna'' (Cadet First Sergeant Major), 4th year

''Taruna'' is also a nickname to cadets in the Military, Naval, and Air Force Academies, however other nicknames such as ''Kadet'' refers to cadets in the Naval Academy, while ''Karbol'' refers to cadets in the Air Force Academy. The term "''Taruna''" however still applies to all cadets from the three academies.

Until 1999, before the [[Indonesian National Police]] officially separated from the armed forces, the [[Police academy#Indonesia|Indonesian Police Academy]] ("AKPOL") also stood under the National Armed Forces Academy but now has separated from the Military and is under the auspices of the President of Indonesia controlled by the National Police Headquarters (''Mabes Polri''), where in the other hand the Armed Forces (Army, Naval, and Air Force) Academies of Indonesia is under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense controlled by the Armed Forces General Headquarters (''Mabes TNI''). Presently, the Police Academy is in [[Semarang]] ([[Central Java]]), and is supervised under the supervision of the [[Chief of the Indonesian National Police]] (''Kapolri'').

All three academies and the Police Academy have a joint 4th class cadet training program since 2008, after completing it the cadets go to their respective academies to continue with the three remaining years of study before commissioning.
