Each year, criminal organizations transport hundreds of tons of illegal drugs from South America to the U.S. through a 6 million square mile ¿transit zone¿ including Central America, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern Pacific Ocean. Since FY 2003, the U.S. has provided over $950 million to support counter-narcotics efforts in transit zone countries, which historically lacked the capacity to interdict drugs. This report examines: (1) how the U.S. has assisted transit zone countries in disrupting drug trafficking; and (2) what factors have impeded these efforts. Includes recommendations. Charts, tables and photos.
