The main driver of military spending and operations in Guatemala is the fight against transnational criminals and gangs, as well as drug traffickers. Other factors that also play a role in spending decisions are the 1996 peace agreements with guerrilla groups and a small defense budget.Guatemala's military primarily provides protection against criminal groups and violent gangs. The military also assists the population during natural disasters, combats drug trafficking, and provides border security.Moving forward, Guatemalan strategic plans have highlighted the need to increase transparency in the armed forces, increase mobility, strengthen border surveillance and intelligence, and develop the capabilities to provide disaster relief and rescue operations. In particular, the Ministry of Defense has emphasized the need to mitigate insecurity and violence.
