The US Navy has also introduced combat ships into the Gulf of Mexico, expanding the maritime surveillance and response posture. Alongside conventional military units, covert operations are intensifying, with the CIA increasing its footprint in Mexico to enhance counternarcotics efforts. This includes infiltrations, intelligence sharing, and possibly kinetic operations aimed at dismantling cartel networks.
Furthermore, the Green Berets have recently begun training Mexican Naval infantry in unconventional combat tactics, reinforcing Mexico's own capacity to counter organized crime. These strategic movements suggest that the US is preparing to respond swiftly and effectively should cartel frustrations or aggressive actions escalate.
