The Indonesian Army Corps of Engineers (Indonesian: Pusat Zeni Angkatan Darat), abbreviated Pusziad, or simply Zeni is an Indonesian Army Central Executive Agency made up of some 15,000 civilian and military personnel, making it one of Southeast Asia's and the ASEAN's, largest public engineering, design, and construction management agencies. The Corps is involved in a wide range of disaster relief and public works projects within the republic, as well as in combat support operations. The Indonesian term for military engineers, Zeni, is derived from the Dutch genie, meaning sapper.

Their most visible missions include:

  • Public works construction (especially in villages, under the wider Tentara Manunggal Membangun Desa /TMMD program (previously known as ABRI Masuk Desa/ AMD program), flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.

  • Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration in coordination with the national government and the private sector.
