Operation Christmas

Operation Christmas was a campaign launched in Colombia during the Christmas season to encourage FARC guerrillas to demobilise. Lowe Ssp3 selected nine 75-foot trees along paths the insurgents used and decorated them with Christmas lights and a message encouraging them to come home. 331 guerrillas demobilized while the campaign was active, a 30% increase from the previous year.
