According to CNN (5/29), the United States is in the process of building a military training center in northwestern Peru to be used to train Peruvian police and marine infantry troops to combat drug trafficking on the Amazon waterway.

The center is being built under a 1996 agreement between the two countries, under which the US will provide $60 million dollars plus military instructors.
