Info Request - South American SOF units

[Dominique]

Alrighty people, I'm all out of bootleg DVDs, I've read all the paperbacks I care to, and I'm cutting back on the PSP, so I've decided to start doing a little research again. I'm looking for info on the current structure, training, and history on SOF units from the following countries: Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, and Chile. The stuff I've got n them is at least six or seven years old and I know there have been a number of changes to their structures since then.

Feel free to post the info here, or PM me. Also, if you don't want to be listed as a source, let me know.

I'm bumping this back up, as I'm working on a couple of new articles, and could use a little help.
