Role in Venezuelan Society

In fact, was created a national development program, using the capacities of the FANB: the Plan Bolívar 2000; and who directs the one called: Gran Misión “Vivienda Venezuela” the Defense Minister of the day, this program consists of the mass manufacture of housing. The Minister of defence, general-in-chief Rangel Silva, confirmed the commitment of the FANB as an institution that is convinced that support for the national development is critical in each of the missions.
President Hugo Chavez justified the participation of the FANB in national development efforts.
An element associated with this interaction with the Venezuelan society that has the FANB, is that Venezuelan society is considered to be the most patriotic second in the world, second only to US.
