Near the villages of La Guamuchilera, Alcoyonqui, Talayote, Los Vasitos, and La Flecha, Mexican Navy forces moved in, securing weapons, tactical equipment, and ammunition exclusively used by the military.

Marine units combed these areas through a mix of ground and air patrols, deploying fixed-wing aircraft and mobile air units to survey the landscape, while Marine Infantry and Special Operations teams tackled the rural terrain on foot.
