Recent investigations have revealed the existence of clandestine training camps in Mexico, operated by criminal groups such as La Familia Michoacana and Los Zetas. These camps, mainly located in Michoacán and Guerrero, provide paramilitary training, teaching recruits guerrilla warfare, explosives handling, and psychological indoctrination.
This level of military-style preparation has allowed cartels to challenge law enforcement and spread fear through acts of narcoterrorism.
The Mexican government spends over 300 billion pesos annually on security, yet the threat persists. Understanding these training methods is crucial to tackling organized crime and preventing further violence in the region.
