Title: U.S. Military Trainers In El Salvador
Date: 1984-08-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A United States Army trainer, right, observes Salvadoran soldiers during target practice in San Miguel department, El Salvador, August 1, 1984. With the escalation of U.S. military aid in 1981, 55 military advisors, or the Mobile Training Team, MTT, arrived in El Salvador and were stationed at bases around the country.

Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A United States Army trainer instructs Salvadoran soldiers during a class in San Miguel department, El Salvador, August 1, 1984. With the escalation of U.S. military aid in 1981, 55 military advisors, or the Mobile Training Team, MTT, arrived in El Salvador and were stationed at bases around the country. Regulations on the capacities and number of advisors stationed were largely ignored or circumvented by the Reagan administration. Special training camps were created in neighboring Honduras for Salvadoran military units to avoid restrictions on the country's advisors limit. Additional advisors were deployed and covertly financed through the CIA under the guise of "intelligence operations".
