On 13 December 1980, the second junta was dissolved after Colonel Adolfo Arnoldo Majano was forced to resign his position, and the third junta was formed with the four remaining members: President José Napoleón Duarte, Vice President Colonel Jaime Abdul Gutiérrez, José Ramón Ávalos Navarrete, and José Antonio Morales Ehrlich. Later that month, on 27 December 1980, Fermán Cienfuegos, the commander of the Armed Forces of National Resistance (FARN), the militant wing of National Resistance, announced that a "final offensive" would be launched by the FMLN against the junta before the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as President of the United States on 20 January 1981. The guerrillas conducted operations and preparations for the "final offensive" in December 1980 and January 1981. The army captured pamphlets calling on the rural poor to join the FMLN and operational plans that confirmed the guerrillas were planning an offensive, but specific targets were not mentioned and remained unknown to the government. As a result, the High Command General Staff, consisting of Colonels Gutiérrez, José Guillermo García, Rafael Flores Lima, and Francisco Adolfo Castillo, placed the military on a "state of alert" in preparation for such an offensive.
