Colombia one of the largest recipients of US counter-insurgency aid during the Cold War. In 1962 General William Yarborough headed the original US Special Forces team organise the Colombian military for counter-insurgency. He argued that a "concerted country team effort should now be made to select civilian and military personnel for clandestine training in resistance operations in case they are needed ". These paramilitary teams were to be used to perform "counter-agent and counter-propaganda functions and as necessary execute paramilitary, sabotage and/or terrorist activities against known communist proponents" and were to be "backed by the United States".
