Cuba Prepares for Defense
Thousands of Cubans will be participating in the National Defense Days Saturday and Sunday, aimed at training the population to face any possible armed aggression.

The two-day exercises intend to continue improving the preparation of all Cubans involved in the Defense Councils, with the principle of the "War of the Entire People."

Taking into account historic US threats and attacks since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, men and women civilians have formed part of the defense system along with the armed forces.

Members of the Territorial Troop Militias, Special Troops, Production and Defense Units, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces will also participate in the territorial defense drills, it was announced here.
