As part of the country’s defense preparedness, the Bastion 2024 Strategic Exercise is being carried out in the national territory from today until January 24.
Its realization was planned for November last year; however, due to the effects of hurricanes Oscar – in the eastern provinces – and Rafael – in the west – and the impact of earthquakes in Granma and Santiago de Cuba, it was necessary to postpone it for this year.
The purpose of the exercise is to train the management and command bodies of the different structures in charge of national and territorial defense, in the organization of work in the interest of raising the country’s readiness for defense and the preparation of the troops and the population, in order to face the different actions of the enemy.
Yesterday, Tuesday, January 21, the University Student Bastion was held, an expression of the participation of young people in the defense of the Homeland.
During the Bastion 2024 Strategic Exercise, and the National Defense Day, which will take place on Saturday, January 25, there will be maneuvers and tactical exercises of different types, with the participation of units of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, the Ministry of the Interior and other components of the territorial defense system. Therefore, there will be troop and war material movements, aviation flights, and explosions may be felt throughout the country.
The Bastion 2024 Strategic Exercise is an essential element in the materialization of our doctrine of the War of the Whole People.

The impetus of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes and his determination on that October 10, 1868, when he assured that “Cuba can no longer belong to a power,” still shake.
When commemorating the 156th anniversary of the beginning of our only Revolution, in a solemn way, in the patrimonial cemetery of Santa Ifigenia, a representation of the people of Santiago de Cuba gathered for the traditional tribute to the Father of the Homeland and the National Hero.
Floral offerings on behalf of Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution; Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic; Esteban Lazo Hernández, head of the Parliament; and the people of Cuba accompanied the tribute at the José Martí Mausoleum.
Another offering, on behalf of the Cuban people, was placed at the tomb of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, by students of the Camilo Cienfuegos Military School and cadets of the José Maceo Inter-arms School of the Hero City.
Likewise, from the Sacred Altar of the Homeland, the former La Demajagua sugar mill -currently a National Monument and Museum Park-, people from several generations of inhabitants from Grandma honored the founding date of the Cuban nation, which took place in that emblematic site.
There, where Céspedes, along with other patriots and their recently freed slaves, began the road to emancipation, they recalled the epic passages written that historic morning, in the presence of the Commander of the Revolution Ramiro ValdMenéndez, deputy prime minister, and the highest authorities of the Party and the Government in the province.
According to CNC TV, on the occasion, Javier Vega Leyva, president of the branch of the Union of Historians of Cuba in the territory, praised the altruism of Céspedes and the men who, together with him, marked the beginning of the road to freedom, while he called on the new generations to be imbued with the history that began to be woven in La Demajagua, with the aim of applying it in their daily actions.
The national call for the Cuban Culture Day was also presented, which will have as its most relevant event the celebration of the 30th edition of the Cuban Festivity, from October 17 to 20.
