U.S. Southern Command has released video showing Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) forces interdicting and destroying a floating refueling station allegedly supporting narco-trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific. According to SOUTHCOM, U.S. forces boarded and cleared the vessel, removed the personnel aboard and transferred them to Ecuadorian authorities before sinking the vessel. Intelligence reportedly linked the refueling station to Los Choneros, an Ecuadorian criminal organization designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization. This is the second operation of this type. JTF-WHEM conducted a similar interdiction on Aug. 28, when Marines and Sailors operating from USS San Antonio (LPD 17) boarded a suspected floating refueling station, removed those aboard, transferred them to Ecuador and then sank the vessel. The video released by SOUTHCOM today shows what appears to be the USS San Antonio operating nearby. The latest operation is part of an increasingly active U.S.-Ecuadorian campaign targeting the maritime logistics network supporting drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.

On Aug. 28, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, and in coordination and collaboration with the Government of Ecuador, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) successfully interdicted a vessel operating as a floating refueling station in support of illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in international waters of the Eastern Pacific. Intelligence confirmed the vessel, previously identified and targeted under Department of the Treasury sanctions, was operating in support of the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization. U.S. Marines and Sailors, launched from USS San Antonio (LPD 17), interdicted, boarded, searched, and cleared the vessel without incident. Individuals removed from the vessel were safely escorted to Ecuador. Once cleared, U.S. forces sank the vessel. This interdiction cuts off a critical node in the traffickers' logistics chain and advances the goals of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) and JTF-WHEM to dismantle narco-terrorist networks. The Department of War 🇺🇸 and the A3C remain unwavering in their mission to defeat narco-terrorists in the Western Hemisphere and defend our homeland. "Today's operation is a stark example of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition's power to dismantle the sophisticated, clandestine narco-terrorist tactics and capabilities that have enabled the trafficking of dangerous drugs destined for American communities. Working together with our Ecuadorian partners, our coalition dealt a decisive blow to a narco-terrorist operation responsible for moving significant amounts of drugs through the region. Together with our regional partners, we are committed to defeating narco-terrorists in the Western Hemisphere." - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L.
