Installation of military base in Chipao
In February 1984, the army installed a military base in Chipao, Lucanas, to control the Sondondo valley and patrol Soras, in response to the presence of a PCP-SL support base in the area.
In February 1984, the Peruvian army installed a military base in Chipao, a district in the province of Lucanas. This installation was motivated by the fact that the PCP-SL had managed to establish a support base in this town. From this military base, the army would exercise control over the entire Sondondo valley and patrol the Soras territory. The installation of this base was part of the military strategy of 1984, when the army expanded the installation of counter-subversive bases (BCS) to the southern zone of Ayacucho, after having prioritized other provinces such as the Pampas basin and Victor Fajardo in 1983.
