Did you REALLY not understand that I was talking about US Army military service in a foreign nation?? - STXhunter understood me. (Would you care for a "do-over"?)
Do you NOT know that USASOUTHCOM is located (and always has been) in the Republic of Panama, with offices/resident agencies/individual employees in several other Latin American nations? (Any of the usual Internet search engines is a good tool to use for such things.)
