Does Congress know about this? 200 Marines have landed in Guatemala

"Guatemalan authorities say they signed a treaty allowing the U.S. military to conduct the operations on July 16. Less than a month later an Air Force C-5 transport plane flew into Guatemala City from North Carolina loaded with the Marines and four UH-1 "Huey" helicopters."

    Yes Congress knows about Operation Martillo. Please see page 4 of this record of a budget request hearing before the House Armed Services Committee - the request was made by both the Southern and Northern Commands. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-112hhrg73435/pdf/CHRG-112hhrg73435.pdf
