The ill-trained Hondurans were unable to cope with the 1,300 tons of equipment rained on them by the U.S. Nor did they show any great mastery of the battlefield discipline necessary to repel a hypothetical Corinthian advance. The 528 Honduran paratroopers dropped into the war-game zone, for example, spent two full hours attempting to regroup into companies. When one trooper was slightly injured...
