In response to escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela, military commanders have developed three specific contingency plans to address potential land strikes involving US forces. This strategic preparation follows the mandatory recall of thousands of active-duty soldiers, sailors, and personnel on October 31, who were instructed to report for duty by 6 pm, leading to a lockdown of all military installations. Although the heightened alert was deactivated later that night, three Quick Reaction Force (QRF) teams remain deployed to strategic locations as part of an ongoing operation to monitor the situation. A senior military officer confirmed that these measures are in place to respond to any emergency arising from military actions in Venezuela. The call to duty was reportedly prompted by international media reports suggesting the US was preparing to strike Venezuela, a claim later refuted by US President Donald Trump and the White House. Trump has previously authorized CIA covert operations in Venezuela and recently announced plans to target drug-related activities within the country. The combination of these developments, along with parliamentary debates on extending the state of emergency, has caused widespread anxiety, leading to early school closures and business shutdowns. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has urged calm, pledging to keep the public informed of significant developments. She has supported US military strikes against narco-traffickers, which have resulted in 61 deaths over the past eight weeks. Military personnel responded promptly to the call, filling camps across the country, while senior commanders convened to assess operational intelligence and devise strategies to handle potential threats, including the migration of Venezuelan nationals fleeing conflict zones. ‘We have a responsibility to care for them while ensuring the safety of our own population,’ an officer stated.
