At one point, beginning in early-1982, plans were underway between the United States and the Argentine junta for the creation of a large Latin American military force, which would be directed by an Argentine officer, with the initial aim of landing in El Salvador and pushing the revolutionaries to Honduras to exterminate them, and then to invade Nicaragua and topple the Sandinista regime.
Pada permulaan 1982, AS dan junta Argentina merencanakan pembentukan kekuatan militer Amerika Latin yang besar, yang akan dipimpin oleh seorang perwira Argentina, dengan tujuan awal untuk mendarat di El Salvador dan mendorong kaum revolusioner ke Honduras untuk menghabisi mereka, dan kemudian menginvasi Nikaragua dan menggulingkan rezim Sandinista.
