Military Counter-Drug Support to Law Enforcement Agencies

Abstract

Since the mid-1970s the military has provided some form of operational or non-operational counter-drug support to law enforcement. Beginning with National Guard support to marijuana eradication operations in Hawaii, counter-drug support has spread to all elements of the military and now involves not only equipment loans and transfers, but intelligence; base and research facilities; training and advice; operation and maintenance of equipment; aviation reconnaissance, surveillance, and transportation; detection and monitoring of aerial and maritime smuggling, and establishing bases of operations for civilian law enforcement personnel.
