Operation Torrent

Operation Torrent was an international military effort launched in the late 1980s to combat drug trafficking and related criminal activities in Colombia. Its goal was to dismantle drug cartels, reduce the flow of illegal drugs, and improve security in the region. The operation involved coordinated actions by multiple countries, including military and law enforcement agencies, targeting drug production facilities, trafficking routes, and associated illegal enterprises. By disrupting the operations of drug traffickers, Operation Torrent aimed to enhance regional stability, curb drug-related violence, and support efforts for social and economic development in affected areas.
