摘要

Top officials at US Southern Command manage a unique mission: They face a range of threats, not always military, but close to home."From Latin America and the Caribbean, I don't see a military threat to the United States," SOUTHCOM's Gen. Douglas M. Fraser stated flatly this past February.This is quite a contention, and surprising in some lights, as South America's militaries have quietly become some of the fastest modernizing militaries on the planet, according to trends of arms and aerospace equipment sales. Across Latin America, total military sales rose from $29 billion to $39.6 billion between 2003 and 2008, led by countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Venezuela."So why do we need military engagement in Latin America, you might ask?" Fraser added.SOUTHCOM's main efforts are described by a nebulous phrase that has come to define a range of military, civilian, and law enforcement operations in the region: counterillicit trafficking operations (CITs)."Here's my real concern," said Fraser in February after noting the absence of traditional military threats in the region. "It's transnational criminals; it's illicit trafficking."In his various briefings and public statements over the past year, Fraser often has on hand a litany of indicators and metrics to point out the progress Latin and South America have made in regard to economic growth and alleviating poverty. Countries such as Brazil, Chile, and Panama have made great strides in helping to close the income inequality gap in their countries as they grow economically.
