Of course one cannot go soley on that result, but its always nice to asked the guys doing the deed. I don't think the Colombians will say they need LTCs at joint level. Could be wrong though.

I would only add that the Colombians allow their interservice rivalry to interfere with their military ops.
We tried for a long time to get the Army, AF, and National Police to work together, without success. Since the AF (at that time) owned the aircraft, it was very hard to put together a joint op for maximum effect.
Our own interservice issues are very minor in comparison with the Colombians.
Just my .02.
