After graduating from high school, Susilo entered the Military Academy and graduated with the highest score in his class in 1973, choosing the career path of a professional soldier. During his military service, Susilo visited the United States several times for short-term training. The Command and Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, USA was the place where he had studied. Susilo was highly praised by his superiors for his wit, ability, diligence, and stability. In 1995, he also led the Indonesian army to participate in Operation Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is committed to military reform in the military and is known as the ideological general. On April 1, 2000, Susilo retired and obtained the rank of four-star general. Later, he joined the government led by President Wahid and became the Minister of Mines. Later, he became the Chief Minister of Security and Political Affairs, and his primary task during his tenure was to eliminate military interference in politics. In 2004, he won the election by an overwhelming margin, becoming the first democratically elected president in Indonesian history. During his inauguration as President, he formulated a series of policies to improve the quality of life of Indonesian citizens both domestically and internationally, as well as to eradicate corruption. He was committed to addressing the widespread problem of corruption and strengthening the enforcement of the Corruption Eradication Committee KPK. His reputation and early political career benefited from the establishment of the Indonesian Democratic Party during the regimes of former Indonesian President Wadsi and Megawati in 2001. This political party with five fundamental principles of faith in Creator, human civilization, Indonesian unity, democracy, and social justice later supported candidate Yudhoyono in the 2004 Indonesian election. Since then, due to his contributions in punishing corruption and stabilizing national politics, his influence has continued to strengthen, ultimately becoming a guiding light for Indonesian democratic politics. In October 2009, he was re elected as President and began his second term. In addition to military reforms and other measures, President Yudhoyono has also made significant efforts in creating the Law on Regional Ethnic Autonomy and resolving separatist conflicts in Aceh and Papua provinces. He also pioneered a pro market economic reform path and is hailed as a pioneer in Indonesia's economic revitalization. In addition, he also fully supports the work of the Corruption Eradication Committee KPK, aiming to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. In addition, his personal influence and leadership position in Indonesia have also facilitated the smooth implementation of these measures to strengthen economic and political stability. The World Economic Forum evaluates him as the beginning of Indonesia's golden decade - political stability, rapid economic growth, and democratic development. He also signed the Presidential Decision No. 12 of 2014, officially abolishing the Circular No. 6 of 1967, and renamed ** Cina China. The decision also stipulates that in the future, the ** term should be used instead of the Chinese term in government agencies.
