On Thursday, March 19, at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Acting President and Commander-in-Chief of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (BNAF) Delcy Rodríguez swore in new members of the country's senior military leadership. The ceremony marked a broad renewal of the armed forces' leadership, headed by General-in-Chief Gustavo González López, appointed as the new Minister of Popular Power for Defense.
In addition to the defense minister, other key figures were sworn in, including Major General Enri Navas Rumbos as the new commander of the Presidential Honor Guard and Rear Admiral Herman Gómez Lares as Director of the Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM). The reshuffle affected the command of all major branches of the armed forces — the Ground Forces, the Navy, the Air Force, the National Guard, and the People's Militia — indicating a comprehensive personnel reorganization at the highest echelon of the Venezuelan military.
