The names have not yet been revealed, but information about the extent of the drug problem within the Dominican Armed Forces is causing concern. Information reported by Listin Diario, sourced to the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF), says that at least 30 Dominican military officials, some with high-ranking clearance, have been reported to have increased their involvement in the shipping and receiving of drugs. According to Listin Diario, on several occasions, the CCSF, which is comprised of the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the DR's National Drug Control Department (DNCD), reported the use of Dominican flagged military boats and planes to track, drop and retrieve drugs being shipped from Colombia. The officers are alleged to have provided intelligence information to drug traffickers, secretly alerting them about planned raids by US officials in the area or about the location of US presence in the waters around the DR and elsewhere.
