Principle of non-intervention/Respect of national sovereignty
Fear of U.S. domination
Differing strategic and threat perceptions
U.S reserves the right to act unilaterally
Preference of sub-regional groupings
Historically, the OAS and IADB have not been effective organizations regarding conflict resolution or military cooperation.
DOM Rep crisis of 1965- Impression that U.S used it as a multi-lateral disguise to spt U.S unilateral interests
Soccer war of 1969 was effective, but coups in Haiti (91), Peru(92) and Guatemala(94) no.
Conflict resolution pursued through non-military actions, limited military action is a last resort. National autonomy = sovereignty
From the Latin American Viewpoint, that balance of power in favor of the U.S. has obstructed and will continue to hinder the formation of any multilateral military organization for fear that the U.S. will dominate it.
L/A militaries are looked upon as nation building forces and protectors of sovereignty.
L/A militaries focus on defending their borders, and to some extent, internal security problems. They do not see the same threat from terrorism and drugs as we do and are hesitant to assume CD related missions.
Historically, conflicts have been resolved by Sub-regional groups that reached consensus at the lowest common denominator.

Interdiction & Investigation
- The Core competencies of the command are put together in a straight forward manner
- An illicit target, be it a boat, ship, plane, building can be detected, sorted, monitored and intercepted
- JIATF South has the lead during the initial building blocks
- Once intercepted - the target is handed over to the appropriate agency - U.S. or Partner Nation
- At this point JIATF South is in the support role
- A critical component in the process is in the prosecution block. Once the reality of long jail terms hits - they are looking for mitigation and that usually comes in the form of information on the criminal organization from wince they came.
- It cannot be overstressed how important law enforcement information feeds the the interdiction cycle.

THIS IS OUR POOL OF AIR ASSETS TO DRAW FROM; ON AN AVERAGE DAY, I HAVE ABOUT 12 ACFT IN THE BED-DOWN.
THERE ARE DOD, IA & INTL ACFT IN THESE BASIC CATEGORIES: AEW, MARITIME SURVEILLANCE, AIR TRACKERS & JTF-BRAVO HELOS FOR AIR LIFT OF LE AUTHORITIES.
-- AS WITH SURFACE ASSETS, THE ALLIED ACFT ARE EITHER IN DIRECT OR ASSOCIATED SUPPORT
-- SOME ALLIED ASSETS HAVE LIMITED RANGE AND CANNOT BE EMPLOYED OUTSIDE A SPECIFIC REGIONAL AREA
-- SOME OF THE ACFT HAVE LITTLE OR NO REAL NIGHT TIME DETECTION CAPABILITIES AGAINST A G\F TARGET WHICH IS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC IN THE CARIB WHEN THEY USUALLY ONLY RUN AT NIGHT
OF NOTE, THE AWACS WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENTIAL VISITS, IS ON ITS FIRST DEPLOYMENT SINCE 911; CBP TRACKERS WERE ALL LOST AFTER 911 WHICH AFFECTS THE SORTING & CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CENTAM AIR THREAT IN PARTICULAR.
