Alert: T&T Soldiers Ordered To Report To Various Military Bases — ‘State One Posture’

UPDATE 2: The Government has issued a statement following multiple reports that the TTDF is on high alert, saying there is no need for the population to be concerned and urging citizens to remain calm. Read the Government’s full statement here.

UPDATE: An internal Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) memorandum from Deputy Commissioner of Police “Administration & Operational Support,” Junior Benjamin, was issued to all Heads of Section/Unit/Division on Friday (31st October, 2025), titled “Immediate Suspension of Leave.” The memo states, “Please inform all Officers under your command that ALL LEAVE is restricted with immediate effect from Friday 31st October, 2025 until further notice.”

According to reports, the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) has been placed on high alert, with all army personnel ordered to report to base within the next few hours. A memorandum is said to have been sent out to all staff at 11:00 AM this morning (Friday 31st October, 2025), stating, “Please Be Prepared To (PBT) report to the office if required today. Pending confirmation from Detachment Commander Regimental Headquarters.”

The order, known as a State One Posture, is said to be a precautionary measure to ensure the TTDF is prepared for any developments in the regional security environment. This raises the threat level to the highest of “One,” and dictates that soldiers who left their respective bases have been ordered to return at specific times during the course of the day.

It is currently unclear whether this bulletin was issued in relation to continued United States military operations off the coast of Venezuela.

However, a startling report from the Miami Herald a few hours ago quoted U.S. Government sources as stating that a land attack by the U.S. on Venezuela was impending and could happen within the next few hours or days.

TTDF soldiers have been asked to report to all four (4) military bases throughout the country — Cumuto, La Romaine, Chaguaramas and Long Circular, according to military sources.

Coast Guard Officers have reportedly been given a similar order, and have been told to report to their bases at Staubles Bay, Galeota Point, and the Cedros Security Complex.

“Some have been told to return at 1300 hrs, others at 1600 hrs. They have been given time depending on the distance they are living to return to base and will possibly be confined there until further instructions are given,” a high level source said.

“What I can say is that there is a meeting happening as we speak between the Commanding Officer of the Regiment, nine (9) staff sergeants and the four (4) battalion Commanding Officers. When that meeting is finished we will know more,” a senior army intelligence source revealed. That meeting, which started shortly after 11:00 AM this morning (Friday 31st October, 2025), was expected to be concluded by 1:30 PM.

The TTDF is comprised of four (4) distinct arms — Trinidad and Tobago Regiment, Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard, Trinidad and Tobago Air Guard and Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Reserves. Each arm has a distinct role but they operate as a joint force in support of national security objectives.

More on this as it becomes available.
