Information Request: Amazon counterinsurgency training camp

During a recent interview with a Latin American labor leader, three NACLA staff members were informed that the U.S. military has set up a camp near Nanaus in the Amazon basin for the training of Latin American cadres in counterinsurgency and anti-guerrilla techniques. We would appreciate any further information or confirmation that Newsletter readers could send us regarding this report. Several NACLA members are assembling material for a pamphlet on “the Vietnamization of Latin America.”
