Title: U.S. Army Rangers Train El Salvador's Army In San Miguel
Date: 1984-08-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: United States Staff Sergeant Clark Hjelseth, attached to the U.S. Military Group in El Salvador, right, shows a Salvadoran soldier a grouping of bullets during target practice training with Salvadoran army soldiers 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”.

Description: United States Staff Sergeant Clark Hjelseth, attached to the U.S. Military Group in El Salvador, lower center, checks the condition of a recoilless rifle during target practice with Salvadoran army soldiers 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. 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.
