In Killing Pablo (by Mark Bowden), a lot of emphasis is placed on the work of radio operators in intercepting and triangulating the position of radio communications.
I have NO idea if this was necessary when hunting Che et al., but I figured it might be applicable and therefore worth mentioning.
Or, a more simple explanation- the groups needed to stay in contact when in the bush, and therefore needed more expert commo guys to keep them hooked up. Or more commo men to train up the indigenous forces while others go out with combat patrols?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the jungle is possibly the worst place to try establishing commo from, maybe this is a reason for having more commos down there?
Just tossing ideas out there...
