Its objectives are to abort the opposition rallies before they could be prepared, detection of opposition leaders, organizing street protests and resistance and control of territory.<ref name=SDP>[http://www.sdpnoticias.com/columnas/2012/09/22/chavez-moviliza-comandos-armados-por-si-pierde-las-elecciones Chávez moviliza comandos armados por si pierde las elecciones]</ref>
Chavez Militias are responsible (along with the Army) from the custody of the electoral process (polling security, custody of the votes and his move to places count). A first contingent will be deployed in 51% of polling stations, the rest at 49%, precisely in many of the places where the opposition is strong.<ref name=SDP/>
Of its approximately 3,800 members, not everyone will have military targets. Some of them could be limited to monitoring process, but other functions provided for these groups, composed of small teams of five to seven members, require violence.<ref name=ABC>[http://www.abc.es/20120922/internacional/abci-planes-chavez-eleciones-venezuela-201209212137.html Chávez moviliza una red de comandos armados para controlar una eventual votación adversa]</ref> Venezuelan Army sources said that in June they started handing out about 8,000 [[AK-103]] to this group.<ref name=SDP/>
They are formed by "social intelligence teams" and "communicators in action" ("street propaganda and guerrilla internet") and of "territorial control equipment," constituted "as Rapid Action Force and Action street, with ability to block or enable critical road corridors, geographic areas or localities" and "defend the spaces adjacent to state institutions."<ref name=ABC/>
Their tactics are based on [[Iran]]ian [[Basij]] units whose performance was decisive to abort the [[Green Revolution]] in 2009, and used a complex system of communication encryption.<ref name=SDP/>
