Military and intelligence assets deployed for the War on Cartels.
Along with the largest military detachment to Latin America since the darkest days of the Cold War, it arises now that US President Donald J. Trump has deployed the ‘Night Stalkers’, one of the Army’s most secretive regiments, to the theater of operations.
The US has struck five alleged Venezuelan ‘narco-boats’ over the last two months.
While Maduro claims a million-strong militia, military experts say his army is just 125,000 strong with obsolete equipment.
Daily Mail reported:
“Trump has deployed B-52 nuclear bombers, guided missile destroyers, F-35B fighter jets, P-8 Poseidon spy planes, a nuclear submarine and around 6,500 troops. Included in that group is the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, known as the ‘Night Stalkers.’
The elite aviation unit provides precision air support for special operations forces including the Green Berets, the Navy SEALs and Delta Force.”
