I28-R145-12137_oai2025-11-17 Vallenilla, Marianao 2023-06-05 The United States influenced the development of the Salvadoran Civil War (1981-1992) during the Cold War and within the framework of Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine. Their involvement pursued the modernization, education, and equipment of the Fuerza Armada de El Salvador (FAES) to fight the insurgent movements in the region, particularly the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional. This study proposes that the changes in the FAES during Reagan’s administration (1981-1989) were critical to the development and outcome of the civil war due to its influence on the FAES’ operational readiness, education in counterinsurgent warfare and the creation of special units. We conclude that the US military cooperation increased the FAES’s firepower and logistic capacity to fight across the country, preventing the insurgency from reaching its objectives. El gobierno de Estados Unidos participó en el desarrollo de la guerra civil salvadoreña (1981-1992) en el marco de la Guerra Fría y la doctrina de conflictos de baja intensidad. Esta participación buscó modernizar, educar y equipar a la Fuerza Armada de El Salvador (FAES) para combatir a los movimientos insurgentes en la región, particularmente al Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional. Esta investigación plantea que, en el marco de la cooperación con el gobierno de Ronald Reagan (1981-1989), los cambios sufridos en la FAES fueron fundamentales en los resultados de la guerra, en tanto aumentó el apresto operacional, se instruyó a las fuerzas regulares en la guerra contrainsurgente y se promovió la creación de unidades tácticas especializadas. Concluimos que la FAES amplió su potencia de fuego y su capacidad logística para operar a lo largo del país, impidiendo que la insurgencia alcanzara sus objetivos políticos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/12137 10.34096/hyg.n4.12137 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/12137/11553 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/12137/11564 Derechos de autor 2023 Marianao Vallenilla Historia & Guerra; No. 4 (2023): July-December; 170-194 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 4 (2023): Julio-Diciembre; 170-194 2796-8650 El Salvador Doctrina de Baja Intensidad Guerra contrainsurgente Guerra irregular Guerra civil El Salvador Low Intensity Doctrine Counterinsurgent Warfare Irregular War Civil War Salvadoran Civil War: U.S. Influence (1981-1989) on changes in the Armed Forces of El Salvador (FAES) Guerra Civil en El Salvador: Influencia de EE.

The United States influenced the development of the Salvadoran Civil War (1981-1992) during the Cold War and within the framework of Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine.

This study proposes that the changes in the FAES during Reagan’s administration (1981-1989) were critical to the development and outcome of the civil war due to its influence on the FAES’ operational readiness, education in counterinsurgent warfare and the creation of special units. We conclude that the US military cooperation increased the FAES’s firepower and logistic capacity to fight across the country, preventing the insurgency from reaching its objectives. |
