Ketidakhadiran ayah pada keluarga militer berlangsung berulang dan berdurasi panjang. Kajian pendidikan anak usia dini di Indonesia masih jarang memisahkan kondisi tersebut dari fatherless permanent. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bentuk fatherless situational pada keluarga TNI Angkatan Udara dan kaitannya dengan pembentukan karakter anak usia dini. Penelitian memakai pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus di RT 12 RW 04 Komplek Skadron Halim Perdanakusuma dan TK Angkasa 3 Halim Perdanakusuma, Jakarta Timur. Peneliti melibatkan 20 informan yang dipilih secara purposif sampling, yaitu tujuh ibu prajurit, lima ayah prajurit aktif, satu guru, dan tujuh anak berusia empat sampai enam tahun. Pengumpulan data berlangsung lima bulan melalui wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur, observasi non partisipan, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data mengikuti model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi dan member check. Analisis menghasilkan 50 tema. Fatherless situational muncul karena pendidikan kedinasan, latihan, mutasi, Operasi Militer Perang dan Operasi Militer Selain Perang dengan durasi dua bulan sampai dua tahun. Anak menampilkan kemandirian, disiplin, tanggung jawab, kemampuan adaptasi sosial, dan kedewasaan emosional. Tiga mekanisme menjelaskan temuan itu, yaitu pembiasaan rutinitas oleh ibu, adaptasi psikologis anak terhadap perpisahan berulang, dan penguatan nilai oleh lingkungan komplek militer serta sekolah. Telepon dan video call berfungsi sebagai sarana transmisi nilai, bukan sekadar pengobat rindu. Teknologi tetap memiliki batas karena tidak menggantikan kebutuhan anak terhadap kontak fisik ayah. Kehadiran fisik ayah bukan satu-satunya penentu keberhasilan pembentukan karakter anak usia dini. Kualitas pengasuhan ibu, konsistensi nilai antar orang tua, dan dukungan lingkungan sosial memegang peran menentukan. Temuan ini berguna bagi keluarga prajurit, satuan pendidikan anak usia dini, dan institusi militer yang menyusun program ketahanan keluarga.
