Entry of the Armed Forces to Ayacucho
Official entrance of the Armed Forces to the Ayacucho emergency zone
The first 450 Army reinforcements were sent to Ayacucho and the three battalions that had been barracked were deployed. On December 29, the entry of the Armed Forces in the fight against subversion was made official. The Marine Infantry also entered. With the establishment of the Political Military Command (CPM), the actions of the police were definitively subordinated to the power of the military. The Army was established throughout the region and the Navy had to replace the Sinchis in Huanta and La Mar.
