Joint Interagency Task Force South

Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS) is a U.S. military organization that cooperates with various government agencies to monitor and combat illegal activities like drug smuggling and human trafficking in the Caribbean, Central, and South American regions. It combines intelligence, surveillance, and law enforcement resources from the military, coast guard, and other agencies to detect, track, and interdict illicit shipments before they reach the United States. JIATFS plays a critical role in enhancing regional security and preventing illegal substances and people from entering the U.S. through coordinated, collaborative efforts.
