The US military, strained by operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, has sharply reduced its role in the war on drugs, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Internal records show that in the last four years the Pentagon has reduced by more than 62 percent its surveillance flight hours over Caribbean and Pacific Ocean routes used to smuggle cocaine, marijuana and, increasingly, Colombian-produced heroin, The Times said, citing current and former unnamed counter-narcotics officials.

At the same time, the Navy is deploying one-third fewer patrol boats in search of smugglers and the Defense Department plans to withdraw as many as 10 Black Hawk helicopters used for drug seizures and arrests in the Caribbean, the paper said.

Also, the military has deactivated many high-tech surveillance balloons that once guarded the entire southern border, saying it lacks the funds to maintain them, according to the report.

In the early 1990s, US military planes and boats filled southern skies and waters in search of cocaine-laden vessels coming from Colombia and elsewhere in South America.

The Defense Department told Congress in October that "detecting drug trafficking is a lower priority than supporting our service members on ongoing combat missions," the paper said, quoting a budget document.
