US military assists Ecuador in 1st land operation against cartels.
The United States and Ecuador carried out a joint military operation against “designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador,” though the U.S. role was limited to advising Ecuadorian troops, and they did not participate in the actual ground operation, a source familiar with the operation told ABC News.
The joint operation was announced by the U.S. Southern Command on Tuesday.
"The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism," U.S. Southern Command wrote in a post on X.
