Program: International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement
FY 2010 Program Interdiction Northern Border Task Force: The 85 law enforcement personnel attached to the NBTF operate in Argentina?s Northeastern province of Salta along the sensitive Bolivian border, which is the primary focus of USG counternarcotics assistance. Funding will continue to support this interagency operation involving federal and provincial law enforcement through upgrading of equipment such as computers and the purchase of two or three vehicles; software and training in intelligence gathering; and training in law enforcement tactics, firearms, and investigative techniques. We are supporting a process of moving the NBTF from leased space to a permanent structure. 242 FY 2010 INL Program and Budget Guide Eastern Border Task Force: USG support will help the GOA replicate the success of the inter-agency NBTF model in the Northeastern province of Misiones, which forms the Argentine portion of the sensitive Tri-border Area adjoining Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Working with the Gendarmaria (border patrol), Prefectura (coast guard), and Misiones Provincial police, funding will be used to purchase one vehicle and to provide office and other needed equipment. Training for the Task Force would include basic narcotics and contraband investigations and tactical training, e.g. arrest techniques and search warrants, for as many as 70 federal and provincial law enforcement officers. Law Enforcement Support: With guidance from the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and other partners, support will include targeted training and equipment for new GOA efforts focused on international criminal networks trafficking in Argentina, including those trafficking in drugs, persons, contraband, and bulk cash. Continuing efforts will focus on providing intelligence-based training, equipment, and software to improve GOA law enforcement agencies? capacity to conduct complex investigations and support successful prosecutions. This will include training on computer-based intelligence analysis and charting software that will allow law enforcement to track organizations, money flow, and communications. USG funding will provide training in the use of Real-Time Analytical Intelligence Database (RAID) software, a data-base that allows for the systematic study and exploitation of massive evidence data from large narcotics-related arrests.

Program: International Narcotics Control Economic Aid
Program Objectives and Performance Indicators
Document: Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Program and Budget Guide, Fiscal Year 2010
Program: International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement
Program Objectives and Performance Indicators
- Enhance existing law enforcement and judicial capabilities to investigate and prosecute criminal cases, particularly those related to narcotics trafficking and including those involving intellectual property rights.
- Improved interoperability among federal and key provincial law enforcement agencies and expanded capacity of law enforcement to focus on large trafficking operations or networks.
- Enhanced Government of Argentina (GOA) analysis capabilities and deeper information exchanges with international partners.
- Heightened GOA vigilance against traffic in precursor chemicals including ephedrine, as well as marijuana and Andean-origin cocaine.
- Deployment of GOA law enforcement resources against changing threats, including new aerial trafficking routes into the country. Sustained GOA support for Northern and Eastern Border Task Forces.
- Training for law enforcement officials to make investigations of intellectual property violations more efficient and effective. Program Justification ... Focused analytical and technical training will enhance the institutional capabilities and interoperability of the Argentine law enforcement agencies to enable them to act more effectively against narcotics coming across their northern and eastern borders and transiting through major ports like Buenos Aires and Rosario. ... Program Accomplishments National and provincial data through mid-November 2008 showed that security forces had seized nearly 7 metric tons of cocaine (HCl) and over 100 metric tons of marijuana. Federal authorities accounted for 80 percent of the recorded marijuana seizures and 55 percent of the cocaine. In the country's largest province, Buenos Aires, there was an increase in seizures and arrests during the first eight months of 2008 compared to 2007, including 1,400 kilograms (kg) of cocaine seized compared to 400 kg. in 2007 and 200,000 doses of MDMA (ecstasy) compared to 2,400 the year before. Following an August 2008 triple homicide reportedly linked to ephedrine trafficking, national police and prosecutors achieved a string of successes in uncovering illicit ephedrine supplies and small-scale synthetic drug production facilities. During 2008, the Ministry of Justice also established three new drug analysis laboratories around the country to help with investigations and analysis of seized products. The USG-funded Northern Border Task Force (NBTF) was responsible for a significant portion of overall 2008 seizures by the GOA. We continue to focus our attention on the NBTF due to concerns about trafficking from Bolivia, and we also continue to work with the GOA to fully establish the Eastern Border Task Force (EBTF) in Misiones Province.
Document: 2007 End-Use Monitoring Report
Program: International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement
Procedures
Post's Narcotics Coordinator does not have PD&S funding and is unable to fund on-site inspections or periodic spot checks to perform End Use Monitoring. The Coordinator relies on DEA officers to assess appropriate usages of INL-funded equipment. Argentine law enforcement officials provide post with periodic updates on equipment. While this system of overlapping verification methods was deemed in the past the best possible end use appraisal system available given Post's resources, post is reviewing its procedures to ensure they are fully consistent with INL guidelines.
Status
The majority of equipment is located in the northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. All indications are that all provided equipment is being used for its intended purposes. No single case of inappropriate or unauthorized use was reported in 2007. In general, the equipment provided through INL funding continues to be used but with problems coming from advancing age and hard use. Many computers, vehicles, and radio equipment are near or well past their useful lives.
Dogs
The two dogs provided to the Northern Border Task Forces (NBTF) in 1988 are healthy, but old and have reached, or are nearing, the end of their useful lives. The Government of Argentina bred six additional dogs for the program. The total force of six dogs allows the handlers to maintain a rotation schedule that ensures the safe and efficient use of the animals.
Miscellaneous Equipment
One gas tank fiberscope and 20 digital cameras were purchased in 2006; the fiberscope was provided to the NBTF; out of the 20 cameras, sixteen were provided to the Argentine counterparts and four are still to be distributed to DEA. Post continues to personally observe that both National and Provincial Police Forces make good use of the miscellaneous equipment (handcuffs, vests, flashlights, cameras, etc.) provided to them in previous years.
Communications Equipment
Communications equipment has not been donated in the last few years. Radio transmitters provided to the Northern Border Task Force (NBTF) require routine maintenance and repair. Many hand-held radios provided to Federal and Provincial Police throughout Argentina need to be repaired or replaced because of wear and tear resulting from routine use under harsh operational conditions.
Computer Equipment
Two laptops with networking system and 18 desktops were provided in 2006 to the Northern Border Task Force (NBTF) and other GOA counterpart agencies. Delays in receiving the computers and mislabeling at the Embassy warehouse delayed distribution. Post is in the process of distributing the computers to the target agencies.
Vehicles
One Chevrolet double cabin pickup was provided to the NBTF in 2006; it is currently in use by the NBTF. One Ford Cargo Van and one sedan was purchased in May 2006. They are being used by the Mendoza Provincial Police Counternarcotics unit. Vehicles provided in previous years (1993-1997) have over 200,000 miles on them and require fairly extensive routine maintenance on suspension and brakes. A few vehicles purchased in 1989 have reached the end of their useful lives.
In 2007, post initiated the purchase of six sedans that are to be distributed among the NBTF, EBTF, and the Federal Police. Post expects to receive delivery of the vehicles from the dealer shortly.
Problems
Post lost its Narcotics Coordinator position in June 2006. These additional duties were assumed by the Political Military Officer. A lack of PD&S resources limits the Narcotics Coordinator's effectiveness in managing post's INL account. The ongoing political instability in neighboring Bolivia coincides with growing cocaine transit through and in Argentina. GOA Law Enforcement Agencies provide exceptional cooperation to post agencies on counternarcotics issues, providing an opportunity to greatly improve the GOA's ability to combat drug trafficking.
Lack of resources and dedicated personnel hampers post's efforts in this area. The Narcotics Coordinator has requested PD&S funding to conduct a comprehensive review of donated equipment, establish an effective end-use monitoring system, and fund an eligible family member or locally employed position to help manage this important program.
Impact
While the INL-funded program in Argentina has been a small one, it continues to have a positive impact especially on the perennially under-funded Provincial Police Anti-Drug Units operating in the northern provinces. In 2007, DEA established a NBTF-like operation in the Misiones Province, near the Tri-Border Area with Brazil and Paraguay. Argentina law enforcement agencies have reported large increases in cocaine seizures over the past several years. Post, lead by DEA, has actively assisted local law enforcement in their counternarcotics efforts. Drug seizures by GOA law enforcement agencies are up, including those resulting from complex investigations, indicating increased capacity on the part of these agencies.
Post's INL program is a valuable tool in implementing and advancing post's counternarcotics/transnational crime agenda with the GOA. GOA law enforcement agencies remain very focused on this agenda and look to post agencies for advice and assistance in implementing their national drug plan. In the coming years, the INL program will be increasing important in meeting USG counternarcotics objectives in Argentina and the region.

Document: FY 2010 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations
U.S. objectives in Argentina include promotion of regional stability and democracy, support for U.S. economic interests, and disruption of drug and human trafficking and other criminal networks. The Government of Argentina (GOA) has supported U.S. security goals through participation in international peacekeeping operations, advocating for the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and through close cooperation in counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, and law enforcement efforts.
Peace and Security: The United States will provide assistance for military education and training to strengthen professionalism in the military and enhance Argentine interoperability with U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces, especially with regard to peacekeeping. Third among Latin American nations in the number of peacekeeping participants, Argentina trains units of other Latin American militaries at its peacekeeping training academy and sends instructors to assist Central American militaries in developing peacekeeping capabilities.
U.S. assistance will strengthen Argentina’s capacity to combat proliferation by training and equipping Argentine Customs in inspection-level enforcement and investigations, and in dual-use export licensing to tighten control over technology transfers. U.S. Coast Guard training of Argentina's Coast Guard (Prefectura) will improve maritime enforcement capabilities and increase security at major container cargo ports. This training will build on previous investments to upgrade the port of Buenos Aires to a functioning Container Security Initiative port, which targets and pre-screens high-risk maritime cargo containers destined for the United States.
The United States also will increase the GOA's law enforcement and judicial capacity to combat transnational organized crime, particularly narcotics, human trafficking, and violations of intellectual property rights. U.S. programs will support the newly-formed operation of the Eastern Border Task Force, near the Tri-Border Area of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Assistance also will build institutional capacity to investigate and prosecute human trafficking crimes effectively. U.S. programs will provide intellectual property rights enforcement training to GOA customs officials, patent and trademark examiners, police investigators, prosecutors, and judges.
