"The enemy forces in the area were the following:
A Sea and Air Base with a crew of six-hundred soldiers, two reconnaissance planes and, we supposed, radio equipment and air control devices. Besides they had  a Gendarmerie Body with army reinforcements from Comodoro Rivadavia Brigade, that  was located five blocks from the prison. It was an antiguerrilla brigade, a special one to suppress any runaway attempt from within the prison, it was made up of a whole  of sixty men. They could detect if the roads had been cut off  and if there were some people hiding with arms. Also there were the Provincial Police and a delegation of the Federal Police. The Provincial Police had a crew of about five hundred men. That was our estimate. There was a large police station in Rawson and several ones in Trelew as well, with modern and powerful equipment. A permanent police radio station, two blocks from the prison, which controlled the whole vehicle transit in the area.
Also there was another post, kind of caravan, with continuous radio control and patrolling. Trelew Military District was endowed with sixty men. After we got to the prison a colonel was sent to the Military District, specially to  conduct the whole security operative control in it. Besides the presence of the information services. We were aware that they operated in the area but they did it dressed as civilians … They visited the prison many times, in a continuous way and going on military  inspection visits, to control security."
