Lt Col Domingo Monterrosa With The Atlacatl Battalion In San Miguel Province

Lt Colonel Domingo Monterrosa, right, speaks with one of his company commanders, left, from El Salvador's Atlacatl Rapid Reaction Battalion as soldiers move into position against guerrillas from the People's Revolutionary Army, or ERP, in San Miguel Province, El Salvador August 1, 1983. The Atlacatl Rapid Reaction Battalion was trained by U.S. military advisors as El Salvador's first rapid reaction force. Under Monterrosa's command, the Atlacatl Battalion was held responsible for the El Mazote massacre in December, 1981, where 800 civilians were killed. Monterrosa died in 1984 when a helicopter he was flying in exploded from a booby trapped transmitter of Radio Venceremos presumably set by the ERP. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)
