Mexican Raid Underscores Importance of Counterdrug Training The five National Guard counterdrug programs operating across the country play a critical role in our nation’s fight against illicit drugs flowing into this country. By training law enforcement and members of the military in a wide range of drug related topics they are better prepared to meet this ongoing threat to their communities. Without the National Guard’s counterdrug program’s support of training initiatives that reach from small, rural departments, to agencies along our southern and northern borders, as well as large metropolitan police departments, the resources that Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTO) have at their disposal can quickly overwhelm law enforcement’s efforts to stop drug trafficking. The sheer magnitude of the problem however does not always get the public attention necessary to put this growing crisis into perspective. In 2007, Mexico, with assistance from the United States, conducted a raid on the home of the head of just one of the major Drug Trafficking Organization in the outskirts of Mexico City. What they found astonished law enforcement officials here and in Mexico.
