On October 31, a large number of officers canceled their leave and returned to the base, and the country entered a state of highest alert, with the war situation on the verge of breaking out!

At local time on October 31, the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force suddenly entered "Level One Alert," which is the highest level of military readiness in the country. The military ordered all personnel to return to their bases immediately, and the police also announced that "all leave will be restricted" until further notice.

This sudden military mobilization occurred at a sensitive moment when the relationship between the United States and Venezuela has been continuously tense, as the U.S. military actions in the Caribbean have escalated tensions.

The Pentagon's military deployment in the Caribbean has reached the largest scale in 30 years, indicating the unusual nature of the situation. The day before Trinidad and Tobago raised its military readiness, the U.S. missile destroyer USS Gravely just finished joint military exercises in Trinidad and Tobago. From October 26 to 30, this warship carrying 300 U.S. soldiers stayed in Trinidad and Tobago for four days, constantly practicing how to attack Venezuela.

The USS Gravely conducted joint training with the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force near the waters of Trinidad and Tobago, an action that provoked strong protests from Venezuela. Venezuela called these military exercises "dangerous" and a "hostile provocation" against Venezuela, posing a serious threat to peace in the Caribbean region.

More seriously, Venezuela also claimed to have captured a mercenary group under the instructions of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. According to a report by the Miami Herald, the Pentagon has decided to attack Venezuelan military facilities, possibly launching air strikes "within days or even hours."

U.S. media cited experts' predictions that the target list includes Venezuelan ports, airports, and other facilities.
