Operation Snow Cap was a covert DEA initiative launched in the late 1980s to combat the cocaine trade at its source by targeting coca production and cocaine labs in Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia. The operation involved elite DEA agents conducting dangerous raids in hostile, cartel-controlled territories. Despite destroying coca fields and cocaine processing labs, the cartels quickly adapted, and corruption among local officials and law enforcement undermined many efforts. The operation ultimately failed to disrupt the cocaine flow into the U.S. on a large scale, highlighting the futility of the broader war on drugs. Today, Operation Snow Cap stands as a stark reminder of how deeply entrenched the drug trade is and the challenges of addressing it through militarized interventions alone.
