Colombian military security and traveler protection

Overview

The Colombian National Army has initiated security operations to protect travelers and prevent crime. Initially, over 300 soldiers from the 11th Brigade were deployed to Córdoba, Sucre, and the Bajo Cauca region to establish checkpoints and patrols during the October school recess. These efforts, involving specialized Gaula Military units, aimed to prevent kidnapping and extortion.

This security focus expanded through the ‘Viaje Seguro’ (Safe Travel) strategy, with the First Division and Mountain Battalion No. 6 deploying along the Troncal del Caribe. These operations continue to utilize the ‘Yo No Pago, Yo Denuncio’ campaign to enhance mobility and combat extortion and kidnapping.
