The exposure that the US allows weapons to cross the border into Mexico, follows sting operations exposing the role of US soldiers in drug running at the border. The FBI halted a sting operation, Operation Lively Green, in 2006, because so many US soldiers in the Army, Marines and Airforce, wanted to smuggle cocaine from the border at Nogales to Phoenix. The nearly 100 people arrested included high school military recruiters in Tucson, a Nogales police officer and a prison guard. A similar sting operation found US soldiers stationed in Oklahoma ready and willing to smuggle cocaine from the US/Mexico border.

Back in Kazakhstan, the US continues its paternal and corporate role. US Ambassador Richard Hoagland wrote this cable in February of 2010 that is marked "secret.""U.S. and Kazakhstani strategic interests are largely aligned on the development of Kazakhstan's vast energy resources.Arizona received $200,000 in funds for participation in the Kazakhstan border and security training partnership."This included exchange visits in Arizona and Kazakhstan of firefighting and 911 operations," the cable states.
