INTRODUCTION Human resources are a very important factor for the running of activities in an organization. For this reason, companies are required to improve the quality of resources so that there is an increase in employee performance and can contribute to improving company performance (Suwanto, 2011). (Robbins P. S., 2006) Bringing the organization to a different situation than before. So the role of human resources today will be one of the determinants for the success of an activity carried out in an organizational institution, both government agencies, state-owned enterprises, social institutions or private companies. Military organization is a form of bound organization that is directly subject to the government or the state. This government plays a role in limiting military tactics that should be handled by the armed forces. In a military organization, in achieving organizational goals, a professional soldier is needed. The professionalism of a soldier must always be improved through continuous education, training, and coaching. Obedience, obedience in honoring and carrying out duties properly from the tasks set by superiors.

There are still unscrupulous soldiers who act and behave not in accordance with the norms that apply within the Indonesian National Army. Violation of soldier discipline is any act or action taken by a soldier, whether intentionally or unintentionally, violates the rules of soldier discipline and commits acts that are contrary to the principles of soldier's life based on the Sapta Marga and soldier's oath or violates service rules, harms the unitary organization and warrior honor. With leadership and good morale, high employee performance can be achieved, and vice versa (Hamalik, 2003). In an organization there are several factors that can cause a person to become undisciplined, as is the theory put forward by (Hasibuan, 2003).
