From the Paper:

"Creating a "specialized force" composed of special-operations forces from the Western Hemisphere nations, according to Davids, along with a group of legal experts to perform arrests and provide legal advice, to accompany this multinational force, or MNF could more effectively attack he command and control structure of the drug cartels first and foremost. Next, the MNF could target the active narco-traffickers. In areas such as Columbia, where guerrillas and the right-wing paramilitary are currently deeply caught up in drug trafficking, it would be inevitable."
