Colombia too
In 1970, Britain’s Cold War propaganda arm, the Information Research Department (IRD), secretly provided counter-insurgency instruction to high-ranking Colombian military officials.
Part of the course was held at the Joint Warfare Establishment at Old Sarum in Wiltshire, where the Colombian officers were given special instruction in psychological operations.
At this time, the British ambassador encouraged the provision of military assistance to Colombia so as to “not find ourselves without lines to the government” in the case of a coup.
