Kolonel Yang DiPertua
Kolonel Yang DiPertua adalah satu jawatan istiadat didalam sesebuah rejimen tentera. Ia biasa digunakan dalam beberapa tentera darat Komanwel, yang mana ia dipegang oleh penaung rejimen, biasanya anggota kerabat diraja. Jawatan ini dahulunya digunakan didalam tentera darat beberapa pemerintahan beraja Eropah. Kolonel Yang DiPertua hanya mempunyai peranan istiadat dalam rejimen mereka.
Tentera Darat Norway telah mengambil pendekatan yang lebih pelik untuk jawatan ini, iaitu dengan melantik seekor penguin Sir Nils Olav sebagai Kolonel Yang DiPertua.[1][2]
Sejarah[sunting | sunting sumber]
Dari segi sejarah Kolonel Yang DiPertua adalah ketua istiadat sesebuah rejimen, biasanya dari kalangan anggota kerabat diraja sesebuah negara Eropah. Amalan ini boleh dijejak dari tahun 1740 di Prusia apabila Raja Frederick II memegang jawatan ini didalam Garde du Corps yang baru diwujudkan, iaitu rejimen elit kavalri berat.[3]
Pada lewat abad ke-19 jawatan ini boleh diberikan kepada anak raja; wujud gambar anak perempuan Tsar Nicholas II dalam pakaian seragam rejimen mereka.[4] Kaiser Wilhelm II merangkul gelaran itu hingga ketahap ekstrim, memegang hingga berpuluh-puluh rejimen Jerman dan (melalui ihsan diplomatik) Austria-Hungary, British, Rusia, dan Portugis. Disamping itu, ibunya, isteri, anak lelaki, dan anak perempuan juga merupakan Kolonel Yang DiPertua atau timbalan Kolonel Yang DiPertua untuk pelbagai unit.[5]
Peranan[sunting | sunting sumber]
Dalam penggunaan moden, Kolonel Yang DiPertua rejimen ialah (biasanya raja) penaung, yang mempunyai peranan istiadat dalam kehidupan rejimen. Mereka tidak mempunyai peranan operasi, atau hak untuk mengeluarkan arahan, tetapi dimaklumkan semua aktiviti penting rejimen dan membuat lawatan sekali-sekala ke unitnya. Tujuan utama Kolonel Yang Dipertua ialah mengekalkan hubungan langsung antara rejimen dan kerabat diraja.[perlu rujukan] Sesetengah rejimen artileri mempunyai seorang Kapten Jeneral bagi mengganti Kolonel Yang Dipertua, namun jawatan itu adalah sama.
Posisi Kolonel Yang Dipertua berbeza daripada jawatan istiadat rejimen yang lain seperti Kolonel Rejimen dan Kolonel Kehormat, yang biasanya datang dari pegawai tentera bersara atau tokoh awam yang ada kaitan dengan rejimen.
Kolonel Yang Dipertua dilantik atas jemputan rejimen. Adalah menjadi tradisi bagi tokoh diraja memegang posisi itu,[6] dan adalah atas budi bicara rejimen atau kor untuk menjemput mereka.
Setakat tahun 2015, sebahagian besar Kolonel Yang Dipertua dalam Tentera Darat British adalah anggota Keluarga Diraja British. Walau bagaimanapun, dua raja asing memegang posisi[perlu rujukan]:
- Raja Jordan - Rejimen Kavalri Light Dragoons
- Ratu Denmark - Rejimen Diraja Princess of Wales (Ratu dan Hampshires Diraja)
Pada masa lampau tiada tokoh diraja yang pernah pegang, atau dijemput pegang, jawatan Kolonel Yang Dipertua. Duke Wellington merupakan Kolonel Yang Dipertua rejimennya sendiri, manakala Winston Churchill adalah Kolonel Yang Dipertua Rejimen Kavalri Queen's Own Hussars, iaitu rejimen yang beliau pernah berkhidmat sebelum memasuki politik. Gabenor Jeneral Kanada Adrienne Clarkson telah dijemput menjadi Kolonel Yang Dipertua Rejimen Infantri Ringan Kanada Princess Patricia,[7] sementara Kor Perubatan Tentera Darat Diraja Australia mengambil keputusan untuk meminta Gabenor Jeneral Australia menjadi Kolonel Yang Dipertuau.[8] Pengecualian ini, bagaimanapun, tidak mengubah maksud sebenar jawatan tersebut, iaitu bertindak sebagai penghubung peribadi antara rejimen dan Raja.[perlu rujukan]
Peranan ini telah berkembang ke tentera darat lain dalam Negara-Negara Komanwel, sekurang-kurangnya di negara yang mempunyai keluarga diraja.
