The Military Sealift Command (Indonesian : Komando Lintas Laut Militer), is an organization that controls the replenishment and military transport ships of the Indonesian Navy. Military Sealift Command has the responsibility for providing sealift and ocean transportation for all Indonesian military services as well as for other government agencies. It first came into existence on 1 July 1961 when the Naval Transport Department (Djawatan Angkutan Laut Militer / Dalmil) was established as the sole service responsible for the Ministry of Defense's ocean transport requirements for both peacetime and war.

Military Sealift Command was formed in Jakarta on 1 July 1961 under the name of the Naval Transport Department (Djawatan Angkutan Laut Militer / Dalmil) using for heavy amphibious transport purposes the Navy's newly acquired Teluk Langsa-class LSTs from the US and one Polnocny-class LST, manufactured in Poland for the service.
