Editing School of the Americas (section)

==Conclusion==
The School of the Americas played a pivotal role in training Latin American officers who executed Operation Condor’s repression, using CIA-influenced counterinsurgency tactics learned at the school. Its graduates, including DINA’s Manuel Contreras and El Salvador’s Roberto D’Aubuisson, were linked to Colonia Dignidad’s torture operations and used Crypto AG devices via Condortel, enabling CIA surveillance. The Brazilian Advanced War College (ESG) similarly shaped Brazil’s Condor role. 

Recommendation: Review the National Security Archive’s Condor collection, SOA training manuals (Pentagon releases, 1996–1997), and Chile’s Valech Report for Colonia Dignidad details. Cross-reference with The Condor Years by John Dinges (2004).
