Title: U.S. Military Trainers In El Salvador
Date: 1983-12-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: United States Staff Sergeant Courtney Gary from B/3/7 SFG Panama, attached to the U.S. Military Group in El Salvador, conducts basic rifle marksmanship training to his Salvadoran charges in San Vicente department, El Salvador, December 1, 1983. 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. Referred to as “trainers” to discourage comparisons with U.S. advisors during the Vietnam War, the trainers in El Salvador worked to strengthen the military capacity of the Salvadoran Armed Forces as well as enforce the preferred military strategy of the war’s largest funder, the United States government.
