The sustained deployment of troops in strategic areas of the department has directly hit the acts of illegal armed structures that commit crimes in the territory.
With the objective of strengthening security, protecting the inhabitants and weakening the actions of the residual organized armed groups, the troops of the Twenty-Seventh Brigade of Colombian National Army constantly carry out military operations in the department of Putumayo, with which they have achieved important and powerful results that have a direct impact on the criminal resources of the residual organized armed groups.
The offensive operations of the Twenty-Seventh Brigade, during 2026, has achieved the finding and controlled destruction of 24 laboratories for the production of coca base paste, where 1,990 gallons were found by troops in process, 10 kilograms of the base paste, 1,430 kilograms of solid precursors, 22,762 gallons of liquid precursors and 900 kilograms of coca leaf, which has generated an economic loss estimated at 2,300 million pesos to these structures.
In the same way, eight fuel hideouts and three illegal refineries were destroyed, which significantly hits the logistics chain of drug trafficking.
As part of the powerful military operation, three arrests were made, one of them by court order against an alleged member of the residual organized armed group Carolina Ramirez, and two in flagrante delicto, who apparently would be part of a common crime group.
At the same time, 34 comprehensive action activities are being carried out, which included community outreach activities, the provision of preventive information and campaigns aimed at promoting legality and individual surrender, reaffirming the institutional commitment to the well-being and security of the inhabitants of Putumayo.
