EL SALVADOR: Military Activity
//The Army has retaken lost ground in the east, but it suffered
heavy losses in the recent fighting there. The guerrillas routed an
Army battalion, and they claim that over 80 government troops were
killed or wounded and that 60 weapons were captured. The US
defense attache says some 83 personnel are still missing.

Comment: //Despite the tactical setback, the new military
command was able to counterattack quickly, and it adjusted well to
the rapidly changing battlefield situation. As new field commanders
become more familiar with the capabilities of their forces, some of the
current difficulties probably will be alleviated. The Army may try to
avenge the defeat by organizing more aggressive operations against
the insurgents, particularly in the east
