The Paskibraka (Indonesian: Pasukan Pengibar Bendera Pusaka, lit. 'National Flag Hoisting Troop') is a youth troop-formed organization and/or flag-raising squad in Indonesia which has the main task to escort, raise and lower the heirloom national flag of Indonesia (now duplicate) in Independence day ceremonies commemorating the independence day of Indonesia (17 August) throughout Indonesia. Its members are grade 10 or 11 high school students selected from schools regionally. Its mission is to provide flag bearers and escorts for national flag ceremonies commemorating Independence Day in the city, province, and national level in Indonesia as well as in some international functions at overseas Indonesian installations (e.g embassies and/or consulates). It was founded by Major (Ret.) Husein Mutahar, and till this day, organized by a national organization with its HQ in Jakarta known as the "National Paskibraka Council" (Purna Paskibraka Indonesia, PPI) under the auspices of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (formerly under the Ministry of Youth and Sports until 2022).
