A military base that had been installed in Uchuraccay to provide security for families returning to the community after displacement caused by violence was removed in March 1997. This military base had remained in the village since the return of the first displaced people in October 1993, providing the security necessary for other families to return to rebuild the community. The withdrawal of the military base marked the end of the permanent presence of armed forces in Uchuraccay, after years of violence that had left the community virtually uninhabited between 1984 and 1993.
