Operation Snowcap

Operation Snowcap was a U.S. government initiative launched in the late 1980s aimed at combating drug trafficking in Central and South America, particularly focusing on cocaine. The operation involved cooperation between U.S. law enforcement agencies, such as the DEA, and local governments to disrupt drug production, trafficking routes, and organizations involved in the cocaine trade. It combined intelligence sharing, training for local forces, and direct operations against drug cartels, emphasizing a strategy to reduce the flow of drugs into the United States and mitigate the impact of drug-related violence in the region.
