Cabinda – The Chief of Staff of the Angolan Armed Forces Egídio de Sousa Santos Saturday in Cabinda reiterated the permanent operational and combat preparedness of the troops, amid the world’s risks and threats.
The high ranking officer of the Angolan Armed Forces was addressing a closing ceremony of combat preparation and other manoeuvres of the troops in Military Region Command in Cabinda.
The Chief of Staff described the activity as part of the military’s permanent training system.
He said training was necessary due to risks and threats arising from the current situation in the world, more and more vulnerable, complex and ambiguous.
The Chief of Staff said the manoeuvres aim to prepare the troops to improve combat techniques and tactics, since “life is dynamic and combat techniques are variable”.
To him, the country must equip itself with men and women, who are highly prepared, efficient, daring, with a patriotic spirit, determined and courageous, who will not back down before the enemy.
The Chief of Staff considered the improvement of this process at all levels in FAA a priority, adding that preparedness and training is necessary for each member to ensure their area of responsibility.
In view of the new challenges, due to 2022 fifth general elections, he said FAA, as the moral reserve of the State and the Nation, are called up to preserve territorial integrity and the normal functioning of democratically elected institutions.
The ceremony, which was attended by the governor of Cabinda Mara Quiosa, also gathered FAA generals, admirals, senior officers and other personnel, as well as guests.
