DEPT FOR INL/RM 
 
E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: SNAR CO
SUBJECT: CY-2004 END USE MONITORING REPORT 
 
REF: INL PROGRAM AND POLICY GUIDE (05/01) 
 
1. (U)  Summary:  This End-Use Monitoring (EUM) Report 
summarizes support provided to the Colombian National Police 
(CNP), Colombian military (COLMIL) and other Government of 
Colombia agencies by the Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS) of 
Embassy Bogota during CY-2004.  This support was provided 
under the International Narcotics Control (INC)/Andean 
Counter-drug Initiative and Plan Colombia programs and 
included aircraft, aviation fuel and maintenance support, 
construction supplies and services, vehicles, fuel and 
maintenance, communications and computer equipment, human 
rights assistance, and weapons and ammunition.  End summary. 
 
2. (U)  PROCEDURES: 
 
Each of the individual programs, in coordination with the 
NAS Deputy Management Officer, is responsible for End-Use 
Monitoring of support funded by their programs.  Due to the 
differences in the size and scope of the various programs, 
there are a variety of systems in place.  The Program 
Managers and Advisors, both DOS and DOJ Direct Hire and US 
Personal Service Contract (PSC) personnel, provided input 
for the this report through occasional site visits  and EUM 
reports.  The NAS Management Section has an audit unit, 
staffed by six Locally Engaged Staff (LES) personnel, that 
assists program staff in conducting monitoring.  This unit 
reviewed and implemented monitoring procedures, conducted 
inventories and audits, and oversaw the disposal of surplus 
material. 
 
NAS program staff held regular working meetings with their 
Government of Colombia (GOC) counterparts to discuss 
operations and status of USG-provided assets.  Among these 
are the CNP Anti-Narcotics Division (DIRAN), its aviation 
component (ARAVI) and the Colombian Army (COLAR).  These 
three divisions receive the bulk of INL support.  Selected 
GOC inventories were requested and compared with NAS records 
to verify status of resources. 
 
Additionally, NAS has approximately 700 American, Colombian, 
and third-country national contractors through various 
contracts with DynCorp, Lockheed-Martin (LM) (and their sub- 
contractor Consulting, Contracting and Engineering, LLC 
(CCE)), Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (ARINC), and Olgoonik 
Logistics, LLC.  Many individuals contributed to the EUM 
process by conducting inventories and providing status 
reports.  As many of these contractors control INL funded 
assets, their activities are also monitored. 
 
DEA and ATF have databases of all equipment donated to their 
counterpart agencies, identifying items by brand, model and 
serial number, etc., and detailing location and condition. 
Both agencies conducted random unscheduled inventories to 
ensure that all USG-funded equipment was accounted for and 
in service for intended use. 
 
3. (U)  RESOURCES AND STATUS 
 
A.  COMPUTER EQUIPMENT:  NAS, DEA, and ATF program managers 
and advisors monitored USG-provided equipment.  NAS 
Management Section has one computer programmer and two IT 
specialists who provide assistance to program staff and the 
GOC counterparts in identifying requirements, designing 
systems, and providing maintenance and technical support. 
 
B.  COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT:  All NAS counterpart agencies 
that received communications equipment provided inventories 
and status reports as requested.  Analysis of the 
inventories showed no major discrepancies.  A NAS PSC 
Communications advisor provided support to the CNP and other 
GOC entities in identifying requirements, conducting 
training, and monitoring program implementation. 
 
C.  VEHICLES:  DEA maintains a database of all vehicle 
donations, detailing location and condition.  Currently 
there are 92 DEA donated and supported vehicles.  In CY2004, 
a source origin waiver was received for local purchase of an 
additional 30 vehicles.  Procurement of these vehicles did 
not begin until CY05.

NAS employs a vehicle maintenance advisor who monitors all 
CNP vehicles and maintains a database detailing maintenance 
performed, fuel requests, and usage.  In CY04, there were 
232 NAS-supported vehicles; 58 were supported by ARAVI 
through the LM contract.  At the present time, increase in 
the number of vehicles is not permitted.  As vehicles are 
removed from service, other vehicles may take their place to 
receive support.  These vehicles are utilized throughout 
Colombia, supporting Interdiction and Eradication and other 
counternarcotics operations.

In CY04, the NAS Interdiction program received 23 Ford F-450 
trucks for donation to the CNP Rural Mobile Police 
(Carabineros) program.  These vehicles are in process of 
modification and have not been turned over to the CNP.  No 
maintenance or fuel support will be provided for these 
vehicles. 
 
D.  AIRCRAFT:  The CNP Eradication and COLAR projects, both 
managed by the NAS Aviation Unit (NAU) and supported by a 
contract with DynCorp, were major recipients of INL-funded 
support.  NAS and INL/A conducted regular program reviews to 
ensure that aircraft were being used for designated purposes 
and that the contractor was complying with all contract 
requirements.  The CNP and COLAR provide regular status 
reports to NAU, and flight logs of all supported aircraft 
are randomly reviewed.  The USG retains title to all of 
these aircraft, while the GOC has operational control.  The 
Letter of Agreement specifies the purposes for the aircraft 
and any other use, such as disaster relief or humanitarian 
operations, must be approved by the Ambassador or NAS 
Director. 
 
CNP ERADICATION 
 
Five USG-owned aircraft were added to the CNP eradication 
inventory in CY-2004. These included three AT-802 Air 
Tractor spray aircraft, one OV-10 Bronco spray aircraft, and 
one C-27 cargo aircraft.  The C-27 was transferred to the 
inventory from the NAS/INL Air Wing program in Peru. 
 
One aircraft was removed from the CNP eradication inventory 
this year: an AT-802 aircraft was removed after the aircraft 
crashed due to unknown causes.  The pilot was safely 
recovered by INL Search and Rescue (SAR) assets.  An 
investigation was conducted, but due to the location of the 
site and condition of the aircraft, a definite cause could 
not be ascertained.

Aircraft UH1N 223 was damaged and was removed from the 
inventory on March 17, 2004.  On December 1, 2003, while 
conducting a two gun-ship screening mission, UH1N EJC 223 
received hostile ground fire and critical aircraft 
components were damaged. Crewmembers were evacuated (one 
injured), all equipment was secured, but the aircraft was 
not repairable. 
 
Aircraft UH1HII 407 crashed on May 31, 2004, while 
conducting aerial gunnery training at the Colombian Army 
Base in Tolemaida.  The aircraft was removed from the 
inventory on August 11, 2004.

ARAVI PROGRAM 
 
The ARAVI program is managed by a FSO, assisted by five 
AMCIT PSCs.  In addition to donating aircraft, the USG 
provides fuel and maintenance support through a contract 
with Lockheed Martin and their sub-contractor CCE. 
Currently, NAS, ARAVI and LM personnel are conducting a 100% 
inventory of all USG-funded equipment and developing a new 
inventory monitoring system for improved EUM controls.  NAS 
Advisors receive daily status reports detailing with 
aircraft condition, engine repairs, and procurement status.

Changes in aircraft numbers during CY04 were as follows: 
the CNP added 1 UH-1H II to the rotary-wing fleet through re- 
engineering supported by NAS. One DC-3 was destroyed when 
the pilot lost control of the aircraft while landing on 
March 28, 2004.  One DC-3 was added to the fleet in December 
2004.  The CY2003 report incorrectly included one C-208 and 
one C-206G as being supported; they are CNP aircraft not 
supported by NAS. 
 
AIR BRIDGE DENIAL 
 
The Air Bridge Denial (ABD) program is operated by the 
Colombian Air Force with USG-provided aircraft and support. 
It is managed by an AMCIT PSC and supported through a 
contract with ARINC.  The USG and contractor program 
managers conducted regular site visits and provided weekly 
and monthly status reports.  In accordance with the LOA, 
AMCIT contractor personnel flew on every tracking mission 
and provided after action reports.  These reports were 
reviewed on a weekly basis by the program managers.  Two 
additional Citations were provided in CY04.  Two Colombian C- 
26s that were refurbished by the USG did not return to 
Colombia in CY04 as projected in the CY03 EUM report.

AVIATION FUEL 
Jet fuel, aviation gasoline, and methanol (fuel additive for 
C-26 aircraft) was provided for all NAS-supported aircraft. 
An AMCIT PSC Fuels Advisor monitored purchases, deliveries, 
storage, and use of NAS provided fuels at all bases and 
airports.  NAS procurement agents and voucher examiners 
reviewed all fuel orders and invoices and found no major 
discrepancies. 
 
E.  CONSTRUCTION:  NAS has a construction unit comprised of 
three architects, three civil engineers, and a project 
manager.  They managed all phases of NAS-funded construction 
projects and provided advice to the GOC on maintenance 
issues.  Program staff ensured that facilities were being 
used for designated purposes during site visits.  In 2004, 
there were over 45 NAS-funded construction projects. 
 
Major improvements were made to the CNP base at San Jose del 
Guaviare: a taxiway from the main runway to the platform and 
heliports wase constructed; barracks were enlarged and 
improved; and a back-up generator for the base was 
installed, along with improvements to the electrical 
infrastructure.  Additionally, a water treatment plant was 
constructed for processing of waste water from spray 
operations. 
 
In Larandia, a water treatment plant was constructed and 
improvements were made to aircraft hangers.  In Bogota, 
renovations were made to the DIRAN headquarters to house 
additional personnel and co-locate additional units.  Major 
improvements to technical infrastructure were constructed at 
the training facility for penal employees in Funza. 
 
F.  DEFENSE ARTICLES:  NAS continues to provide arms and 
ammunition to the Colombian Forces who maintain controls and 
inventories of USG-provided weapons.  An AMCIT PSC Weapons 
Advisor monitors the use and operational status of donated 
weapons.  NAS audit staff perform regular inventories to 
ensure that all weapons are accounted for and provides 
detailed information on location, type of weapon, and 
condition. 
 
4. (U)  IMPACT 
 
A.  COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT:  NAS-provided secure aircraft 
radios and a new computerized aircraft tracking system to 
ARAVI.  This system allows secure communications between all 
aircraft as well as automatic flight tracking that provides 
location, speed, and altitude.  It also provides alternate 
communications in case of emergency. 
 
B. VEHICLES:  USG support ensured that vehicles were 
available for operational needs.  They facilitated the 
movement of personnel and supplies, surveillance and 
arrests, and increased response times to those in need.  The 
effectiveness of the CNP would have been greatly diminished 
without this support. 
 
C.  AIRCRAFT:  The impact of USG air support in Colombia 
cannot be overstated.  Given the size and geographic 
diversity of Colombia, air support is essential to CN 
efforts in Colombia.  In calendar year 2004, the Aerial 
Eradication program sprayed a record 136,551 hectares 
(gross, unadjusted) of coca and 3,064 hectares of opium 
poppy.  USG support to the counter-narcotics efforts of the 
Colombian Army, particularly the Plan Colombia Helicopter 
Program, is essential.  In addition to funding and equipment 
purchases/donations, USG support also included PCHP training 
and institution building objectives. Specifically, the 
Colombian Army Helicopter Battalion and Aviation Brigade 
have adopted several programs to enhance their capabilities. 
Among them are the publishing of Flight Regulations that 
mirror the US Army's 95-1; conducting operations under the 
DOS/INL Operational Directives; and using the PCHP 
standardization program for all airframes to include FMS 
UH60s, MI17s, and the Fixed Wing Battalion.  Furthermore, 
without USG-provided support, the PCHP would not have been 
able to support the counter-narcotics brigade and other 
vetted units, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the both 
the COLMIL counter-narcotics efforts and the CNP/INL 
eradication task force.  Lastly, it is important to 
recognize the integral part that the PCHP has played in 
meeting this year's illicit crop eradication goal of 130,000 
hectares of coca. 
 
ARAVI aircraft and crews played a significant role in 
providing support for spray operations.  T-65 operations are 
wholly supported by ARAVI gunships and SAR helicopters, 
while all other spray operations, i.e., AT-802 and OV-10, 
have CNP copilots and gunners.  CNP "Halcon" gunships 
provide additional cover and were instrumental in rescuing 
the crew of an eradication helicopter shot down in December. 
ARAVI has participated in numerous interdiction operations 
and was the principal means by which approximately 5677 
Carbinero troops were inserted into remote areas of the 
country.  Although the USG-provided assets are normally 
intended for CN operations, ARAVI provides aerial 
intelligence platforms and supports all other police units 
on a "when available" basis, subject to Embassy approval. 
ARAVI helicopters transported 118,366 Kg's of cargo and 
23,116 passengers, while the airplanes transported 1,451,102 
Kg's of cargo and 41,244 passengers. 
 
D. DEFENSE ARTICLES:  USG assistence allowed the CNP to 
train and equip 40 Carabinero Mobile Squadrons and staff 158 
municipality police staions, approximately 16,000 police in 
all, for assignment in rural Colombia where no security 
presence existed prior to August 2002.  This program 
continues to support President Uribe's key strategic goal of 
the establishment of public security throughout Colombia. 
 
6. (U)  PROBLEMS:  In CY03, this report noted that the Plan 
Colombia Helicopter Program was unable to institute a 100% 
audit of all assets.  In CY04, NAS instituted stringent 
property accountability procedures that include an annual 
100% inventory. 
 
Police  operator  training/turnover has  caused  operational 
problems  in  the  water treatment plant  in  San  Jose  del 
Guaviare.  Personnel turnover has also been a factor in  the 
ability of the satellite imagery laboratory to provide multi- 
temporal   image   analysis  and  other  satellite   imagery 
laboratory  products.  This problem is being addressed  with 
training agreements to limit transfers of critically trained 
personnel. 
 
Unregulated  power  fluctuations have  continued  to  damage 
computer  equipment; programs are providing UPS systems  and 
making infrastructure upgrades as necessary. 
 
7.  (U)  PROGAM  CHANGES:   In the communications  intercept 
field,   DEA  is  moving  from  traditional  analog/cassette 
recording  to  digital  intercept  equipment.   This   shift 
towards more modern technology will allow evidence collected 
by host-nation counterparts to be shared with, and processed 
by,  USG  law  enforcement agencies on  international  cases 
leading to extraditions.  This new equipment will also  help 
to minimize abuses of the system.  No other major changes to 
report.
