United States deploys 600 soldiers to Latin America for anti-drug operations

anti-drug strategy 10th Mountain Division MQ-9 Reaper drones Southern Vanguard exercise Pentagon deployment

The United States has begun deploying approximately 600 soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division, based in Fort Drum, New York, to Latin America as part of an expanded anti-drug strategy. According to reports from The New York Times, the initial contingent is moving to a jungle training facility in Panama.

The deployment is intended to facilitate training and cooperation with regional forces. Following their time in Panama, troops are expected to participate in the Southern Vanguard joint exercise in Colombia and may also be deployed to Honduras. Some personnel may provide support to U.S. special operations forces during raids against suspected drug traffickers.

In addition to the troop movement, the Pentagon has transferred MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drones from Africa to Colombia and Ecuador to bolster counter-narcotics efforts. Furthermore, several hundred additional soldiers are expected to staff a new military command for the Western Hemisphere to be headquartered in Miami. While some reports suggest these deployments could lead to a more permanent U.S. military presence, the U.S. Embassy in Panama has denied reports of a 600-soldier deployment, stating that only 120 soldiers are currently participating in a two-week training course.
