Please find attached a few documents that provide information on General Gustavo Alvarez Martínez. Most of the information, however, refers to his period as a member of the Honduran security forces until his removal in 1984, including his military training, positions held and ideology (see pages 79-80 of Honduras: State for Sale). The attached section from Honduras: A Country Guide provides information on the Honduran armed forces and General Alvarez's military and political involvement (see list of attachments).

Also attached, please find a copy of pages 59-61 of The American Connection - Volume I which discuss the Technical Investigations Course of the United States Office of Public Safety (OPS), reportedly given to students from security forces of Central and South America. The same attachment states that the OPS training was carried out in the United States and other countries. Page 79 of Honduras: State for Sale states that General Alvarez Martínez received OPS training.
