Ejército de Guatemala

The Guatemalan Army, known as Ejército de Guatemala, is the national military force responsible for the defense of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. In recent news, the army has been actively involved in responding to armed incursions along the border with Honduras, particularly in the municipality of Esquipulas, where they have engaged in armed confrontations with groups crossing illegally into Guatemala. Their operations aim to ensure security in the region and to collaborate with the National Civil Police in maintaining order and addressing violence stemming from organized crime.
