The Llamapsillon community members formed a peasant patrol and requested recognition by the Army on June 24, 1989. This organization was formed in the context of increasing violence by the Shining Path PCP in the highlands of Cunas and Canipaco. The formation of this round was part of a broader process in which the peasant communities, initially receptive to the PCP-SL, began to organize to defend themselves in the face of increasing violence and the absolute control that the subversive organization sought to exert. The Llamapsillon round was formed shortly after the Congos Alto massacre on April 12, 1989, where the PCP-SL murdered 12 people.
