The Ecuadorian Armed Forces, through the Security Block, have introduced new operational tactics focusing on aerial infiltration and tactical parachuting as part of their strategy to combat organized crime and narcotrafficking. This evolution in combat approaches marks a significant shift from traditional ground operations to airborne tactics, aiming for precision and surprise in their interventions. The ability to insert troops quickly and discreetly into areas previously hard to access by land will enhance operational effectiveness.

These new aerial infiltration methods involve deploying military personnel directly into complex terrains where conventional access routes are absent, allowing forces to execute operations smoothly in regions that were once challenging for terrestrial military movements. The use of tactical paratroopers enables the armed forces to navigate the geographical obstacles that have hindered previous efforts to combat criminal elements related to drug trafficking and organized crime.

By enhancing their aerial capabilities, the Ecuadorian Armed Forces aim to increase operational anticipation and flexibility, seizing aerial control as a tactical advantage. This shift not only underscores the rising urgency to address narcoterrorism but also reflects a broader commitment to evolve military strategies in response to the changing landscape of organized crime in Ecuador.
