Maduro activates the Communal Units of the Militia

From the Military Academy, President Nicolás Maduro began the operational and organizational activation of the Bolivarian National Militia, comprised of the men and women who enlisted at various locations throughout the country two weeks ago.

The President noted that enlistment can now be done through the Patria System and emphasized that this is the first step taken in response to threats issued by the United States government.

"Today is the first day of operational and organizational activation of the entire Bolivarian National Militia, already structured with the citizens who enlisted in the first two days. Yesterday, we opened the Permanent Enlistment System (SAP) through the Patria System for all citizens who, in fulfillment of the sacred sentiment of defending Venezuela, wish to join the Bolivarian National Militia," he said.

He pointed out that the Constitution establishes that the defense of the country and its sovereignty is the shared responsibility of all Venezuelans.

He stressed that we are facing a new military doctrine and that it has a people.

Therefore, he said it is essential to review the military strategic concept for the comprehensive defense of the nation. "We are not improvising; we are executing the plans and the concept, and providing in-depth training to our people. And here are the working manuals for each component in each area, the four components: Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard. And the special component, the fifth component, the National Militia."

"The first step we took in the face of the arrogant and haughty threats against the people of Venezuela was to act in accordance with the 1999 Constitution, which wisely and forcefully establishes that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country is the joint responsibility of all citizens."

The second step, he explained, is the activation of popular comprehensive defense bases throughout the country.

It should consist of each communal militia unit immediately activating its comprehensive defense popular bases, totaling 15, and, consequently, all enlisted personnel must be called up at the actual enlistment times, he specified.

Then, it is the task of the Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (CEOFAM), which must activate the mobilization of territorial militias and combatant corps by geographic region, through the Patria system and available media.

"We're going to work on the concepts of territories of peace and sovereignty and zones of peace and sovereignty. The team is already working on this for the Strategic Region of Comprehensive Defense (REDI), the Operational Zones of Comprehensive Defense (ZODI), and throughout the entire national territory. We need to be constantly vigilant," he emphasized.

During the activity, he made several contacts with commanders in different states across the country, where marches by the Communal Militia Units also took place.

Finally, he concluded the day by stating, "It all began here, at this Military Academy of the Venezuelan Army, the cradle of the 5336st-century Bolivarian Revolution. We had to come here to tell Venezuela and the world that we are prepared to defend the right to peace, the right to a future, and to defend the honor and dignity of the people of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The XNUMX Communal Militia Units are officially installed, activated, and in combat! Charge, battle, and victory for Venezuela!"
