Cuba Drills for War of All People

Cuba starts as of Monday the "Moncada 2007" drill, in the territory of the western and central armies, in important units directly subordinated to the Revolutionary Armed Forces Ministry.

The aim of these practices until Friday is to improve working cohesion of the direction and command bodies, and verify units' actions in different categories, to face enemy military aggression.

"Moncada 2007" won't be carried out for this moment in eastern Cuba, due to the serious damage from strong rains and flooding associated to Tropical Storm Noel, so the country decided to dedicate all forces to recover that zone.

As of the concept of the War of All People, the maneuver includes a considerable number of armed and non-armed structures, supplying regular troops, the Territorial Troops Militias and people in defense zones, and measuring advances in the preparedness and development of skills of the staff linked to the defense.

"Moncada 2007" is also be used as a preface to the Bastion 2008 drill, slated for the second semester of the next year.
