in the capacities of law enforcement, countries in the region, especially in the northern part, ramallahhonduras salvador have asked their militaries to support their law enforcement capacities to address the situation. as i talk with militaries, they clearly understand their role. they understand that they have limited authority. their job is to support the enforcement. but they focus on what the government have asked them to do in these situations. and so, we see enormous challenges as we look across the region in helping support. so that is where i see our reality is the focus and approach this issue. it is the reality to militaries have been asked to come in and support this activity. so how do we help train? had would help them work so they can better integrate and coordinate with law enforcement activities? as you look in the international waterways and airspace, caribbean and eastern pacific, that has been a traditional role for the united states military to support it to the peace. join the vc task force south celebrate his 23rd anniversary this last year. an interagency group fo
