PREVIEW Counterinsurgency Challenges and Narcoterrorism Threats Post-Intervention in Venezuela. Colonel Jeff McClausen, United States Army retired, examines the serious counterinsurgency challenges the US would face 50 days or 50 weeks after a potential Venezuelan intervention. The threat comes from narcoterrorism gangs operating from sanctuaries in neighboring countries like Colombia, Ecuador, or Brazil, who might use IEDs in the jungle if their livelihood is threatened. Colonel McClausen notes that while US forces fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, the focus has shifted to large-scale conventional warfare, leading to a loss of specialized counterinsurgency experience.
