Live Healthy and Free
In June 2013 I was transferred to the Marine
Infantry Battalion No. 40 in Tumaco-Nariño. The arrival at the Pearl of the
Pacific made me curious to see the airport guarded by National Police and Army
personnel on all sides, jet helicopters with personnel from Army and fumigation
planes. On the way to the Brigade I saw checkpoints with barricades that
covered the personnel that provided security there, however, it was not new to
be in an environment in these conditions, but I made a mental note of what I
observed.
I entered the area on Monday at 10:00 a.m. and
I was assigned to an ALPHA 33 patrol with a point of 00-04-04-37-00 under the
command of a Second Sergeant, I made my presentation to the patrol commander,
curiously He already knew my capabilities and where I came from, apparently my
training influenced my arrival in that specific unit and place.
The patrol covered the general area of
Invilì-Nariño, the area of responsibility began at the entrance of
Tangareal del Mira, with several kilometers over the Mira river to La Loma, the
patrol fulfilled security and area control functions throughout the area,
passing the river was the Vega-Nariño and further up a town in Ecuador.
The civilian personnel in the area were totally
disaffected by the military personnel, you could not talk to anyone or go to a
store or drugstore, everything had to be coordinated from Tumaco, so public
order in the area was very complex, very few people were who dared to speak to
us when we exercised area control, the hotel plan had to be fulfilled in
perfect synchrony since we could not spend the night in the same place because
the minefields were booming, the place where we stayed the night and moved was
mined by the enemy.
After 15 days of being in the area we were
attacked, we had moved and we reached an uninhabited place near the river, but
even when we searched to be safer when we moved, they always managed to locate
us quickly, that night they attacked one of the sentinels, but they did not
mention that in that sector, because it was of high risk, the guard was double,
the attacked sentry took cover and the other sentinel supported the place where
he had seen the flashes coming from with heavy fire.
In the river, boats began to move and the
attack by the second reaction nucleus began and they responded with nourished
fire. As the fire had already ceased in the first nucleus, I left the commander
of the EXDE group and went to the second nucleus to support with the use of
flares and organize the use of support weapons, at this point the patrol
commander had already reported the start of contact to the battalion command.
After that night we became more present in the
area, the civilian population began to approach us and although they harassed
us almost every day, we had full control of the town, the area and the ferry,
we began to identify the enemy, which we approached. when we did. We found,
anywhere, in the deep searches we found the so-called soft-stompers trying to
plant mines, at night the sentinels identified the soft-stompers with the night
minks trying to subdue them and get closer to them, it was evident that the
methods they switched attacks, and we were more efficient by staying one step
ahead of the enemy.
I end my chronicle by saying that those Marines
always had the best attitude to come into contact with the enemy and do a good
job, the NCOs always sought to keep the morale of the personnel high, they were
overcoming great challenges, the risk was extremely high and my Lancer pocket
manual became my favorite reading, the dog Sacha the most beloved canine and
his guide acquired extraordinary experience working with his animal, we all
made great sacrifices in that commission and although we had a Marine wounded
by During the 90 days of the commission, our hard work achieved the return of
the Combat Elements and patrols of Professional Infantry from other Battalions,
they could enter the area and exercise registration and control of the area. At
the end of the commission in January, we all came out alive! healthy and free!
