This research is a strategic research by reviewing relevant concepts, theories, and literature, so methodology research is documentary research. The research results were as follows: 1) the Army is a large unit, so several units are very complex and much data needs to be analyzed, 2) the factors that affect the adoption of a Big Data system for enhancing the effectiveness of the Army’s strategic administration are factors 5V+1C, 3) the approaches to using a Big Data system to increase the effectiveness of the Army’s strategic management include: accessibility, security, editable, online ability, ability to support a wide range of data formats and ready to use immediately. This research has suggested: that there should be a specific agency responsible for maintaining the central database and should encourage personnel with knowledge and expertise in the use of Big Data and the development of additional systems in the future.
