During the deployment of the above-mentioned civic - military - police maneuvers, the senior military officer indicated that 24 exercises have been carried out in this region to test plans for the defense of our territory.
“At the border bridges (located in that region) we are going to test military defense and blockade, in the event of an aggression against our territory. For them, we have built the planning from the commander of REDI, commander of ZODI, and commander of higher units,” he stressed.
Martínez Campos also reported that, in perfect civic - military - police union, a deployment has been carried out to secure more than 280 kilometers of the border line with Colombia. “We have reinforced the military presence and we have adjusted the details of intelligence and counterintelligence to determine in real time our reaction capacities to guarantee the peace of the Republic and democracy in the country,” he emphasized.
