Talk:United States Southern Command

Untitled

Is the head of Southern Command given or is the government in the process of deciding on a new one? I ask because I can't find a link to the general or admiral in charge. Monksbane 4:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

USNORTHCOM

"Significant changes made by UCP 2008 include:

- Realigning the USNORTHCOM and U.S. Southern Command areas of responsibility (AOR) by placing the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands in the USNORTHCOM AOR. "

NPOV, history missing

I've slapped an NPOV template onto this page, because it's very imbalanced and biased towards SOUTHCOM/the US military. Most of the (few) sources are in fact affiliated with the US military, and I find it strange that, one the one hand, there's a rather long and praising section called "Humanitarian assistance and disaster relief" while on the other hand, in the History section, the entire period 1963-1996 is missing (!).

Personnel numbers

"USSOUTHCOM is a joint command[1] of more than 1,200 military and civilian personnel representing the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and several other federal agencies." This seems a bit low? Mcsteez (talk) 11:20, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion or merely a talk line. "...when it comes to under whose boots you prefer to be under, we all choose USA...! as nobody would prefer to be under Russia, China or Cuban communism influence! ...so we eliminate the section of human rights complaints against USA! as there is no comparison to the worst in this World.." 2001:569:7DC7:6700:F49F:627C:BE5C:9B42 (talk) 17:23, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I removed, but not for any of these reasons. The center is under the NDU and not SOUTHCOM, as was erroneously stated.Garuda28 (talk) 17:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

"Controversies"?

This sentence from the intro seems unjustified: "As explained below, USSOUTHCOM has been under scrutiny due to several human rights and rule of law controversies in which it has been embroiled for nearly a decade." The only mention of rule-of-law and human-rights violations were not about USSOUTHCOM. The only controversy I could find was about the soldiers who got prostitutes. I recommend removal.
