Central and South
America still contain a few European territories,
primarily French Guiana, The Falkland and South
Georgian islands, and the The British Virgin
Isles. They lost most of their caribbean
territories due to mismanagement and abandonment
during the worldwide economic collapse and the
devastating outbreak of the Wasting Plague.
Cuba, Costa Rica, and Argentina have become strong EEC allies, and as such
their loyalties and protection are assured by
the EDF. These areas are the only
place where you are likely to 
find
major EDF installations
and forces.However, intelligence indicates Europe has been deploying EDF Special Forces groups to to South American Alliance controlled countries, an other countries with strong anti-US saentiment. The Special Forces groups are most liekly their to
train and advise the
local forces, but their ahve been reports of EDF elite
troops actively working with these groups. In 
addition, the EEC is
offering wholesale prices on arms and equipment to
anti-US nations in the region. These actions
have become especially tense in Panama, where the EDF
has been spotted working with the ICMF. If they
remain in the area, then it is inevitable that the United States Military invasion
of Panama will have the two superpowers in direct, and public, armed
conflict. This situation is hoped to be avoided,
as unlike
in Africa, where there
is a total media blackout, public attention from a US
EDF conflict in South America could force the
escalation to a much larger arena.
With the EDF recently
undergoing a troop buildup in French Giuana and the Falklands, as well as
bolstering their bases in Argentina, the British Virgin
Isles, and Guyana, the atmosphere is getting
tense. However at the moment, EDF military action is
confined to policing their own
controlled nations and tightening those
borders.With so much media and world attention focused on their movements, EEC ambassadors and public officials are playing
it very smooth,
commenting "The EEC wants no part of the United States
conflict, the EDF is is on South American soil merely
to protect European interests and citizens. If
the United States wished to humiliate itself once
again with its riiculous habit of bullying morality
into the third world, they can deal with the
consequences. However if an American
bullet sheds the blood of a single european citizen or
solier, the EDF will not hesitate to retaliate."
