TheUnited States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), located inDoral inGreater Miami, Florida, is one of the elevenunified combatant commands in theUnited States Department of Defense. It is responsible for providing contingency planning, operations, and security cooperation forCentral andSouth America, theCaribbean (except U.S. commonwealths, territories, and possessions), their territorial waters, and for the force protection of U.S. military resources at these locations. USSOUTHCOM is also responsible for ensuring the defense of thePanama Canal and the canal area.[8]

Under the leadership of a four-star Commander, USSOUTHCOM is organized into a headquarters with six main directorates, component commands and military groups that represent SOUTHCOM in the region. USSOUTHCOM is ajoint command[9] of more than 1,201 military and civilian personnel representing theUnited States Army,Navy,Air Force,Space Force,Marine Corps,Coast Guard, and several other federal agencies. Civilians working at USSOUTHCOM are, for the most part, civilian employees of the Army, as the Army is USSOUTHCOM's Combatant Command Support Agent. The Services provide USSOUTHCOM with component commands which, along with their JointSpecial Operations component, two Joint Task Forces, one Joint Interagency Task Force, and Security Cooperation Offices, perform USSOUTHCOM missions and security cooperation activities. USSOUTHCOM exercises its authority through the commanders of its components, Joint Task Forces/Joint Interagency Task Force, and Security Cooperation Organizations.

Area of Responsibility

[edit]
SOUTHCOM Area of Focus

The USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) encompasses 32 nations (19 in Central and South America and 13 in the Caribbean), of which 31 are democracies, and 14 U.S. and European territories.[10] As of October 2002, the area of focus covered 14.5 million square miles (23.2 million square kilometers.)[11]

The United States Southern Command area of interest includes:

Components

[edit]

USSOUTHCOM accomplishes much of its mission through its service components, four representing each service, one specializing in Special Operations missions, and three additional joint task forces:[12]

U.S. Army South (Sixth Army)

[edit]

United States Army South (ARSOUTH) forces include aviation, intelligence, communication, and logistics units. Located atFort Sam Houston, Texas, it supports regional disaster relief and counter-drug efforts. ARSOUTH also exercises oversight, planning, and logistical support for humanitarian and civic assistance projects throughout the region in support of the USSOUTHCOM Theater Security Cooperation Strategy. ARSOUTH provides Title 10 and Executive Agent responsibilities throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region. In 2013, around four thousand troops were deployed in Latin America.[13]

Air Forces Southern (Twelfth Air Force)

[edit]
Main article:Twelfth Air Force

Located atDavis-Monthan Air Force Base,Arizona, AFSOUTH consists of a staff; a Falconer Combined Air and Space Operations Center for command and control of air activity in the USSOUTHCOM area and an Air Force operations group responsible for Air Force forces in the area.

JIATF- South also collects, processes, and disseminates counter-drug information for interagency operations.Manta Air Base was one of JIATF-South's bases, in Ecuador until 19 September 2009.[15]

Humanitarian assistance and disaster relief

[edit]

USSOUTHCOM's overseas humanitarian assistance and disaster relief programs build the capacity of host nations to respond to disasters and build their self-sufficiency while also empowering regional organizations.

These programs provide valuable training to U.S. military units in responding effectively to assist the victims of storms, earthquakes, and other natural disasters through the provision of medical, surgical, dental, and veterinary services, as well as civil construction projects.

The Humanitarian Assistance Program funds projects that enhance the capacity of host nations to respond when disasters strike and better prepare them to mitigate acts of terrorism. Humanitarian Assistance Program projects such as technical aid and the construction of disaster relief warehouses, emergency operation centers, shelters, and schools promote peace and stability, support the development of the civilian infrastructure necessary for economic and social reforms, and improve the living conditions of impoverished regions in the AOR.

Humanitarian assistance exercises such asExercise Nuevos Horizontes (New Horizons) involve the construction of schools, clinics, and water wells in countries throughout the region. At the same time, medical readiness exercises involving teams consisting of doctors, nurses and dentists also provide general and specialized health services to host nation citizens requiring care. These humanitarian assistance exercises, which last several months each, provide much-needed services and infrastructure, while providing critical training for deployed U.S. military forces. These exercises generally take place in rural, underprivileged areas. USSOUTHCOM attempts to combine these efforts with those of host-nation doctors, either military or civilian, to make them even more beneficial.

In 2006, USSOUTHCOM sponsored 69 Medical Readiness Training Exercises in 15 nations, providing medical services to more than 270,000 citizens from the region. During 2007, USSOUTHCOM is scheduled to conduct 61 additional medical exercises in 14 partner nations.

USSOUTHCOM sponsors disaster preparedness exercises, seminars and conferences to improve the collective ability of the U.S. and its partner nations to respond effectively and expeditiously to disasters. USSOUTHCOM has also supported the construction or improvement of three Emergency Operations Centers, 13 Disaster Relief Warehouses and prepositioned relief supplies across the region. Construction of eight additional Emergency Operation Centers and seven additional warehouses is ongoing.

This type of multinational disaster preparedness has proven to increase the ability of USSOUTHCOM to work with America's partner nations. For example, following the 2005Hurricane Stan in Guatemala, USSOUTHCOM deployed 11 military helicopters and 125 personnel to assist with relief efforts. In conjunction with their Guatemalan counterparts, they evacuated 48 victims and delivered nearly 200 tons of food, medical supplies and communications equipment. FollowingTropical Storm Gamma in Honduras, JTF-Bravo deployed nine helicopters and more than 40 personnel to assist with relief efforts. They airlifted more than 100,000 pounds of emergency food, water and medical supplies. USSOUTHCOM was deployed toHaiti following the2010 Haiti earthquake to lead the humanitarian effort.[16]

USSOUTHCOM also conducts counter-narcotics and counter-narcoterrorism programs.

History

[edit]

The United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) traces its origins to 1903 when the firstU.S. Marines arrived inPanama to ensure U.S. control of thePanama Railroad connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the narrow waist of thePanamanian Isthmus.[17][18]

The Marines protected thePanamanian civilian uprising against the government of Colombia led by formerPanama Canal Company general managerPhilippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla, thereby guaranteeing theseparation of Panama from Colombia and his creation of thePanamanian state. Following the signing of theHay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty granting control of thePanama Canal Zone to the United States, the Marines remained to provide security during the early construction days of the Panama Canal.[17]

In 1904, Army ColonelWilliam C. Gorgas was sent to the Canal Zone (as it was then called) aschief sanitary officer to fightyellow fever andmalaria. In two years, yellow fever was eliminated from the Canal Zone. Soon after, malaria was also brought under control. With the appointment of Army Lieutenant ColonelGeorge W. Goethals to the post ofchief engineer of theIsthmian Canal Commission by then PresidentTheodore Roosevelt in 1907, the construction changed from a civilian to a military project.[17]

In 1911, the first troops of the U.S. Army's10th Infantry Regiment arrived atCamp E. S. Otis, on the Pacific side of the Isthmus. They assumed primary responsibility for Canal defense. In 1914, the Marine Battalion left the Isthmus to participate in operations againstPancho Villa in Mexico. On 14 August 1914, seven years after Goethals' arrival, the Panama Canal opened to world commerce.[17]

The first company ofcoast artillery troops arrived in 1914 and later established fortifications at each end (Atlantic and Pacific) of the Canal as theHarbor Defenses (HD) of Cristobal and HD Balboa, respectively, with mobile forces of infantry and light artillery centrally located to support either end. By 1915, a consolidated command was designated as Headquarters, U.S. Troops, Panama Canal Zone. The command reported directly to the Army'sEastern Department headquartered atFort Jay,Governors Island, New York. The headquarters of this newly created command was first located in the Isthmian Canal Commission building in the town ofAncon, adjacent toPanama City. It relocated in 1916 to the nearby newly designated military post ofQuarry Heights, which had begun construction in 1911.[17]

Caribbean Defense Command WWII Shoulder Patch

On 1 July 1917, almost three months after theAmerican entry into World War I, thePanama Canal Department was activated as a geographic command of the U.S. Army. It remained as the senior Army headquarters in the region until activation of theCaribbean Defense Command (CDC) on 10 February 1941. The CDC, co-located at Quarry Heights, was commanded by Lieutenant GeneralDaniel Van Voorhis, who continued to command thePanama Canal Department.[17]

The new command eventually assumed operational responsibility over air and naval forces assigned in its area of operations duringWorld War II, which included all U.S. forces and bases in theCaribbean basin outside thecontinental United States. By early 1942, a Joint Operations Center had been established at Quarry Heights. Meanwhile, 960 jungle-trained officers and enlisted men from the CDC deployed toNew Caledonia in the southwest Pacific to help form the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), codenamed 'Galahad' and later nicknamedMerrill's Marauders for its famous exploits in Burma.[19] In the meantime, military strength in the area was gradually rising and reached its peak in January 1943, when 68,000 personnel were defending the Panama Canal. Military strength was sharply reduced with the termination of World War II. Between 1946 and 1974, total military strength in Panama fluctuated between 6,600 and 20,300 (with the lowest force strength in 1959).

In December 1946, PresidentHarry S. Truman approved recommendations of theJoint Chiefs of Staff for a comprehensive system of military commands to put responsibility for conducting military operations of all military forces in various geographical areas, in the hands of a single commander. Although theCaribbean Command was designated by the Defense Department on 1 November 1947, it did not become fully operational until 10 March 1948, when the old Caribbean Defense Command was inactivated.[17]

On 6 June 1963, reflecting the fact that the command had a responsibility for U.S. military operations primarily in Central and South America, rather than in the Caribbean, PresidentJohn F. Kennedy and Secretary of DefenseRobert McNamara formally redesignated it as the United States Southern Command.[17] The command's mission began to shift with the expansion of theCold War to Latin America. Kennedy and his successorLyndon B. Johnson expanded the division in the aftermath of theCuban Missile Crisis and reoriented it towardsirregular warfare against the establishment of anotherCommunist state in the Western Hemisphere.[20] From 1975 until late 1994 total military strength in Panama remained at about 10,000 personnel.[17]

In January 1996 and June 1997, two phases of changes to the Department of DefenseUnified Command Plan (UCP) were completed. Each phase of the UCP change added territory to SOUTHCOM'sarea of responsibility. The impact of the changes is significant. The new AOR includes the Caribbean, its 13 island nations and several U.S. and European territories, the Gulf of Mexico, as well as significant portions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The 1999 update to the UCP also transferred responsibility of an additional portion of the Atlantic Ocean to SOUTHCOM. On 1 October 2000, Southern Command assumed responsibility of the adjacent waters in the upper quadrant aboveBrazil, which was presently under the responsibility ofU.S. Joint Forces Command.[17]

The new AOR encompasses 32 nations (19 in Central and South America and 13 in the Caribbean), of which 31 are democracies, and 14 U.S. and European territories covering more than 15,600,000 square miles (40,000,000 km2).[17]

With the creation of theUnited States Department of Homeland Security, USSOUTHCOM Area of Responsibility (October 2002) experienced minor upper boundary redistribution or changes decreasing its total boundary by 1.1 square miles. (14.5 million square miles (23.2 million square kilometers.)

With the implementation of the Panama Canal Treaties (thePanama Canal Treaty of 1977 and the Treaty concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operations of the Panama Canal), the U.S. Southern Command was relocated inMiami, Florida, on 26 September 1997.[17]

A new headquarters building was constructed and opened in 2010 adjacent to the old rented building in theDoral area ofMiami-Dade County. The complex features state-of-the-art planning and conference facilities. This capability is showcased in the 45,000-square-foot Conference Center of the Americas, which can support meetings of differing classification levels and multiple translations, information sources and video conferencing.

In 2012, as many as a dozen SouthCom service members, together with a number ofSecret Service officers, were disciplined after they were found to have brought prostitutes to their rooms shortly before President Obama arrived for a summit in Cartagena, Colombia. According to theAssociated Press seven Army soldiers and two Marines received administrative punishments for what an official report cited by the wire service said was misconduct consisting "almost exclusively of patronizing prostitutes and adultery." Hiring prostitutes, the report added, "is a violation of the U.S. military code of justice."[21]In 2014, SouthCom commanderKelly testified that while border security was an 'Existential' threat to the country, due toBudget sequestration in 2013 his forces were unable to respond to 75% of illicit trafficking events.[22]

USSOUTHCOM's2017-2027 Theater Strategy states that potential challenges in the future include transregional and transnational threat networks (T3Ns) which include traditional criminal organizations, as well as the expanding potential of extremist organizations such asISIL andHezbollah operating in the region by taking advantage of weak Caribbean and Latin American institutions. USSOUTHCOM also notes that the region is "extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and the outbreak of infectious diseases" due to issues with governance and inequality. Finally, the report recognizes the growing presence ofChina,Iran andRussia in the region, and that the intentions of these nations bring "a challenge to every nation that values nonaggression, rule of law, and respect for human rights". These challenges have been used to promote relationships between the United States and other governments in the region.[23]

State Partnership Program

[edit]
Main article:State Partnership Program

US SOUTHCOM currently has 22 state partnerships under the state partnership program (SPP). SPP creates a partnership between a state of the U.S. and a foreign nation by linking the host nation military or security forces with theNational Guard. SOUTHCOM is equaled only byEUCOM in its number of partnerships.

The U.S. Southern Command was activated in 1963, emerging from the U.S. Caribbean Command, established in 1947. Last commander of the U.S. Caribbean Command from January 1961 to June 1963 and first commander of the U.S. Southern Command since June 1963 was Lieutenant General–later General–Andrew P. O'Meara.[24]
