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.
