Infantería — VRAEM
Counter-insurgency infantry operating in the VRAEM (Valle de los Ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro) — the operational zone where residual Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) factions, known as the MPCP or "militarized faction," continue operations intertwined with drug trafficking networks. The VRAEM is Peru's most dangerous operational environment and the primary deployment zone for Army infantry. Operations involve sustained patrolling in remote jungle terrain with real contact risk against armed groups that have adapted hybrid narco-guerrilla tactics. Assignment to VRAEM units is the defining operational experience of Peruvian Army infantry service.
