Indonesian term or phrase: penggalangan
I have come across various definitions of 'penggalangan'. Depending on the context, it can mean, among other things, 'support' (as with funds), 'mobilisation' (of troops), and 'conditioning', in the context of psychological operations. Please suggest its meaning in this phrase: "Tiap-tiap Kodam terdapat Den Intel yang melakukan tugas-tugas pokok intelijen (penyelidikan, pengamanan dan penggalangan) ... . I am inclined to translate it as 'psychological operations' but am not convinced.
