There are no professional armies in South or Central America. I spent three years (90-93) attempting to train them, it’s all about corruption and pay-offs. I watched officers shoot enlisted soldiers for falling asleep during training. When we were transporting them we would have to stop and collect road kill for them to carry back and cook for dinner.
When Pinochet died Margaret Thatcher hailed him as a great person because a deal had been made whereby Chile put pressure on Argentina, causing them to station their professional troops along the border with Chile. That left Argentina with a large number of raw young recruits in the Falklands who were more than happy to surrender at first opportunity. When the US trained those armies to counter communism, they certainly were in better shape; Britain faced the second string in the Falklands (but came away with a lot of respect for the Argentine pilots).
