----------------------- 
New NAS Director Arrives 
----------------------- 
 
2. (U) New NAS Director, Abelardo A. Arias, arrived at post 
July 29 and has assumed all NAS Director duties. 
 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
Rumors of major changes in GOP ministries and PNP amount to 
nothing 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
3. (U) July rumors of a possible major shake up of key NAS 
ministerial and PNP contacts proved to be baseless, and 
NAS-GOP cooperation continues as before. 
 
-------------------------------- 
FAP supports Eradication efforts 
-------------------------------- 
 
4. (U) For the first time in recent memory, eradication 
operations were supported not only with the usual PNP MI-17, 
but also with a FAP MI-17.  NAS Lima has been pushing for FAP 
support, which came at a crucial time, so as to counteract 
the continued lack of PNP MI-17 support for eradication 
located furthest away from the FOL.  This operation was a 
success not only because the support was provided, but 
because there was true, unprecedented cooperation between the 
FAP and the PNP.  FAP willingness to engage with NAS and 
provide support oens up a whole new range of additional 
assets for eradication. 
 
------------------------------------------- 
Deputy Director Visits Counter Narcotics Base and FAP Radar 
in Puerto Maldonado 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
5. (U) NAS Deputy Director and several key counter narcotics 
PNP personnel visited the Puerto Maldonado PNP counter 
narcotics bases as well as the new site of the FAP radar. 
The radar, capable of scanning parts of Bolivia and 
Brazil, was recently moved from Pucallpa to Puerto Maldonado 
and is supported by DOD/MAAG with communications into 
JIATF-South. 
 
------------------- 
Aviation Safety Day 
------------------- 
 
6. (U) US and Peruvian aviation safety officers conducted a 
joint aviation stand down on 15 July to emphasize the 
importance of ground and air safety and raise awareness of 
accident prevention.  The last accident occurred 7 April in 
Santa Lucia with the hard landing of a UH-2 by two PNP 
instructor pilots practicing emergency procedures. 
 
------------------------------------------ 
Joint Peruvian/Brazilian Air Bridge Denial Exercise Concluded 
------------------------------------------ 
 
7. (U) Peruvian (FAP) and Brazilian (FAB) Air Forces 
completed a successful five day joint Air Bridge Denial (ABD) 
exercise in Pucallpa July 21 to 25.  The exercise focused on 
communications, tracking, and information exchange between 
the FAP and FAB to include the handing off of targets moving 
cross border.  FAP and FAB personnel flew aboard each other's 
aircraft and exchanged liaison officers.  NAS provided 
facilities support for the FAP aircraft and crew involved in 
the exercise. 
 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
Dyncorp International Vice President Visits NAS Lima 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
 
9. (U) The current Dyncorp International contract in support 
of helicopter operations is under review by Air Wing for 
renewal in November 2008.  In light of this, Mike Bozeman, 
Vice President of Dyncorp responsible for international 
contracts visited NAS Lima 21 to 25 July to discuss the 
quality and terms of the new contract. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------------- 
Correction to June End of Month Report on Airport Seizures 
--------------------------------------------- ------------- 
 
10. (U) Due to various reasons and complications, the cocaine 
seizure amounts at the ports for June were underreported to 
NAS Lima.  Post has since received the correct figures as 
224.058 kilos of seized cocaine as opposed to the 100.36 
kilos previously reported. 
 
--------------------- 
Ports Program Report 
--------------------- 
 
11. (U) Peruvian Customs (SUNAT) and the PNP at Jorge Chavez 
Airport, Customs SERPOST and the port of Callao seized 191.24 
kilos of cocaine during the month of July.  Of the 543 
outbound airport passengers selected for pre-departure 
inspection with the NAS sponsored body scanner, 17 were found 
to be internal drug carriers bound for the US or European 
markets; each carrying approximately 900 grams of cocaine. 
SUNAT authorities detained an arriving Polish passenger who 
had only declared 10,520 of the full 79,520 euros and 270 
zlotys he carried.  In a separate case, SUNAT discovered and 
detained 36,000 counterfeit US dollars hidden inside books 
bound for export to the US.  Both cases have been turned over 
to the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) and the National 
Directorate for Crime (DIRENCRI) for investigation and 
eventual prosecution.  SUNAT authorities stationed at SERPOST 
report the seizure of a package bound for Canada containing 
two Peruvian diplomatic passports as 
well as another package in route to Germany which was found 
to contain 30 false passports from various countries. 
Details on both of these cases are still pending. 
 
---------------------------------------- 
DEA/NAS Supported Chemical Unit Seizures 
---------------------------------------- 
 
12. (U) The DEA lead, NAS supported Chemical Unit conducted a 
ground operation along the Rio Monzon targeting rustic 
laboratories believed to belong to Tingo Maria drug 
traffickers.  Eleven such laboratories were found, but 
abandoned, and 330 kilos of muriatic acid (Black Market Value 
of 1,155 USD) and 874 kilos of kerosene (Black Market Value 
of 6,555 USD) were uncovered and seized. 
 
13. (U) In July, the Chemical Unit working in Tingo Maria 
seized approximately one metric ton of muriatic acid (Black 
Market Value of 3,500 USD), a 2007 Mercedes-Benz cargo truck 
(valued at 80,000 USD) and arrested two individuals in 
conjunction with the seizures. 
 
----------------------------------- 
Eradication Report and Plans for August 
----------------------------------- 
 
14. (U) In July, CORAH eradicated 979.99 hectares of illegal 
coca, bringing the year to date total to 6176.18 hectares. 
Thirteen cocaine base labs were also destroyed by PNP 
providing security to CORAH workers.  Additionally, CORAH 
returned to Sion for the first time since eradication 
operations were suspended in the region in 2006.  The 
operation, named Operation Susan by CORAH in honor of the 
departing NAS Director.  Eradicators worked in two groups so 
as to cover more ground, however, two sectors south of Sion 
remain unfinished.  CORAH will return to these sectors in 
August.  Also during the month of August, CORAH plans to 
operate in an area known as Bolson de San Martin which is 
located directly north of Aucayacu, though still part of the 
San Martin Department.  CORAH will continue to work in this 
area until the new base camp is completed allowing for 
eradication operations in the Aucayacu Area. 
 
---------------------------- 
Nationwide DIRANDRO Seizures 
---------------------------- 
 
15. (U) Nationwide, DIRANDRO reports the destruction of 702 
cocaine-base and 13 HCL cocaine laboratories, the seizure of 
14 metric tons of various types of illegal drugs, and 28 
metric tons of precursor chemicals. In Palmapampa alone, PNP 
base personnel destroyed 98 rustic laboratories and seized 
700 kilograms of 15 various precursor chemicals, the largest 
amount being Kerosene. 
 
--------------- 
Coca Leaf Prices 
--------------- 
 
16. (U) The price of coca leaf continues to fluctuate.  The 
price of coca leaf per 'arroba' during the month of July was 
approximately 33 USD in the Huallaga Valley and 21 USD in the 
VRAE. NOTE: 'Arroba' is a local unit of measurement equal to 
2.1 kilos. 
 
---------------------------------- 
NAS Programs Office Continues Reorganization 
---------------------------------- 
17. (U) The NAS Programs Office for Demand Reduction, Media 
and Communications, Money Laundering, and ILEA continues its 
reorganization and the NAS Programs Officer has completed her 
orientation.  Additionally, the new Media and Communications 
advisor is expected to begin in August.
