In January 1983, the Marine Infantry took control of the province of Huanta as part of the intervention of the Armed Forces in Ayacucho. This military installation took place during the first weeks of January, after the government instructed the Armed Forces to assume internal control in five Ayacucho provinces by means of DS 068-82-IN of December 29, 1982. The installation of this military base was part of the State's response to the advance of the Shining Path PCP in the area.
