With the aim of “combating organized and transnational crime,” the Paraguayan government deployed a contingent of up to 4,000 military and police personnel to its borders. The operations also mark the first deployment of Super Tucano aircraft, acquired in mid-2025. “The government of Paraguay is determined to combat organized crime with every available resource, and this operation is yet another demonstration of that commitment,” Paraguayan Defense Minister Óscar González Cañete said at a press conference on November 11 as he introduced one of the military deployments that, as part of the operation, would be sent to the border areas with Brazil and Bolivia.
