Mexico
Cell RGN-003. Structure per cc01-region-packages/REGION-PACKAGE-STANDARD.md. A region package is the auditable chain from assessment to configuration to operation for one area of operations.
1. Region Identity
Mexico Area of Operations, centered on the Mexico City (CDMX) metropolitan area, with regional coverage for corporate travel corridors. Validity window 2026-07-03 to 2027-07-03. Pre-staged configuration for potential executive protection detail planning.
2. Driving Assessment
This region package consumes OSINT-031-country-risk-assessment.md via the ART-regional-threat-assessment seam. It explicitly pulls the following fields:
- Country risk rating (overall and by sector: crime, civil unrest, terrorism)
- Geopolitical risk indicators
- Infrastructure resilience baseline
- Consular advisory levels
Grounding is supplemented by U.S. Department of State and UK Foreign Office consular databases.

4. Operating Annexes
Annex A: Threat Baseline
- General Threat Level: High (L×I 16). Consumes geopolitical and crime vectors from ART-regional-threat-assessment.
- Primary Threat Vectors: Express kidnapping, cartels/organized crime violence, cargo theft, street robbery, and road blockages. High-threat risks are elevated on intercity highways.
- Significant Local Gaps (RFIs):
- RFI-RGN-003-01: Verify current cartel turf boundaries and active street-level extortion trends in the Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec sectors of CDMX. [ROUTED TO: Detail Intelligence Officer]
Annex B: Emergency Services
- National Emergency Number: 9-1-1. (Grade: A1 - Standard national public database).
- Verification Date: [2026-07-03].
- Staleness Rule: Re-verify numbers and routing protocols every 180 days.
- Escalation Path: If municipal 9-1-1 response is delayed, contact the private operations center or the federal police dispatch lines.
Annex C: Medical Infrastructure
- Trauma-Capable Hospital Selection Criteria:
- Must maintain a 24/7 dedicated level-1 emergency department with an on-call trauma surgeon.
- Must have active blood banks with negative-type blood products available.
- Must have helicopter evacuation coordinates and secure helipads.
- Verified Trauma Center Register:
- ABC Medical Center (Observatorio): Private facility. Grade: A1 (Joint Commission International accredited). Premium trauma and intensive care units.
- Hospital Espanol (CDMX): Private facility. Grade: A1. Full trauma capability.
- Significant Medical Gaps (RFIs):
- RFI-RGN-003-02: Confirm emergency helicopter transit flight clearances and landing fees for ABC Medical Center Santa Fe. [ROUTED TO: Detail Leader]
Annex D: Law Enforcement Liaison Structure
- Force Structure:
- Secretaria de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC): Municipal/state police for CDMX. Grade: A1.
- Policia Auxiliar CDMX: Division of SSC that can be contracted for dedicated facility and route security. Grade: A1.
- Guardia Nacional: Federal force handling regional security and federal highway patrols. Grade: A1.
- Liaison Protocol:
- Before operating, the Detail Leader shall coordinate with the Policia Auxiliar CDMX commander to register routes and secure backup support.
- Designated municipal contacts must be briefed on the team’s call signs and vehicle plates.
Annex E: Communications Infrastructure
- Carrier Landscape:
- Telcel: Widest national coverage and highest signal density. Grade: A1.
- AT&T / Movistar: Strong metropolitan bandwidth. Grade: A1.
- Coverage Caveats: High-speed network coverage is excellent inside CDMX. Transit highways through mountainous terrain (e.g. CDMX to Toluca, or CDMX to Cuernavaca) suffer from frequent cellular dropouts.
- Satellite Fallback Rule: Any intercity road movement requires active satellite trackers and vehicle-mounted radios. Due to local wiretapping and intercept risks, all cellular voice and data must flow through end-to-end encrypted VPNs.
Annex F: Transport and Transit
- Armored Vehicle Channels: All transport must be sourced through BIZ-006-pre-vetted-vendor-roster. Vehicles must be CEN Level B6 minimum (resisting rifle rounds) for all CDMX and regional highway transits.
- Road Risk Patterns: Graded B1. Extreme traffic gridlock, risk of express kidnappings at traffic lights, and potential illegal checkpoints on highways outside metropolitan areas.
- Aviation Options: [PLACEHOLDER - Local charter and helipad coordinators must undergo vetting]
Annex G: Local Vendor Annex
- Supplier Sourcing: All local security drivers, armored vehicles, and municipal police escorts must be drawn through the ART-vendor-roster seam.
- Vetting Floor: Operations Manager must confirm that private suppliers hold active state registrations and federal licenses, and that operators have passed D-01 vetting checks.
- Vetted Regional Suppliers:
- [PLACEHOLDER - Supplier registry to be imported from BIZ-006]
Annex H: Legal and Regulatory
- Firearms Carriage Laws: Regulated at federal level under the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives. Armed operations require federal licenses (Licencia Oficial Colectiva) and SEDENA authorizations. Grade: A1 (statutory law).
- Foreign Operator Constraint: Foreign nationals are legally prohibited from carrying firearms or executing private security actions in Mexico. All armed protection must be provided by licensed Mexican citizens employed by a registered Mexican security entity or using active municipal police officers.
- Counsel-Verification Gate:
- [PLACEHOLDER - Mexican counsel verification registry and permit reference numbers]
Annex I: Operator Notes
- Currency: Mexican Peso (MXN). US Dollars are accepted in primary hotels.
- Language: Spanish. English is common in business sectors but rare among local police and emergency workers.
- Culture: High hierarchy in police and military forces. Local coordination requires diplomatic handling and formal letters of introduction.
Annex J: Package Maintenance
- Review Cadence: Every 180 days.
- Change Triggers: Significant shifts in cartel territorial control, change in state police force structure, or local firearms law updates.
- Owner Role: Detail Intelligence Officer.
5. Gaps and RFIs
- Private security is regulated at federal and state levels. Armed close protection requires federal permits (Licencia Oficial Colectiva) and state registration. Local police (e.g. CDMX Policia Auxiliar) can be hired for armed escort under local agreements.
- Carrying of weapons by foreigners is prohibited. Carrying permit authorization is governed by the Secretariat of National Defense under the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives. Armed detail work requires contracting SEDENA-approved private security firms or using municipal police escorts. Basis: SEDENA Federal Firearms Law (Ley Federal de Armas de Fuego y Explosivos).
- CDMX has Level 1 trauma private hospitals (e.g. ABC Medical Center Observatorio/Santa Fe, Hospital Espanol). Public emergency infrastructure is heavily congested. Emergency service is 9-1-1. Basis: Hospital directories.
- Cellular coverage (4G/5G) is reliable in the CDMX metropolitan area via Telcel, AT&T, and Movistar. Secure communications require end-to-end encryption due to wiretapping risks in certain networks. Mountainous regional transit roads have significant blackouts.
- Armored transport (Level III/IV), bilingual security drivers, secure airport greeting services, and local tactical coordinators must be sourced and vetted through the D-04 vendor pipeline.
