Obviously this is an enormous organization within the larger umbrella of the Department of Defense and well beyond the scope of a single information page. With that said, the U.S. Army is deeply ingrained as one of the locuses of power within the United States due in large part to its abilities to directly inflict violence globally as well as direct hundreds of billions of dollars in funding annually.

The ability of the Army, like all governmental programs entrusted with some semblance of "defense" or related critical task, to classify programs makes its activities and actions hard to discern and attractive to individuals looking to shield information and related materials from inquisitive eyes.

Dark Alliance Investigation

The U.S. Army trained hundreds of Nicaraguan National Guard officers who later formed the leadership of the FDN Contra army. Somoza invoked the training program when pleading with Ambassador Lawrence Pezzullo not to abandon his National Guard: "They have been fighting Communism just like you taught them at Fort Gulick, Fort Benning, and Fort Leavenworth. Out of nine hundred officers we have, eight hundred or so belong to your schools." Enrique Bermúdez, the FDN's military commander, was a graduate of the U.S. Army School of the Americas.1
