 Captain Gary Prado Salmón (front) on parade with B Company 2nd Ranger Battalion, Bolivia 1967.  The Special Forces MTT members conducted an airborne proficiency jump with the Bolivian Airborne School students at Cochabamba in October 1967. In the background is a Korean War-era F-51D Mustang, one of the mainstays of the Bolivian Air Force in 1967.  When the Special Forces team arrived to train the Bolivian Rangers, the standard infantry rifle was a Czech-made 7.62 mm Mauser. In the Ranger Battalion these were replaced with U.S. M-1 Garands and Carbines. Staff Sergeant Wendell Thompson trains a Bolivian infantryman with his Mauser on the range.  The Czechoslovakian ZB-30 7.92 mm light machine gun was used until replaced by the U.S. .30 caliber M-1919A6. Sergeant First Class Harold T. Carpenter instructs a Bolivian gunner during the deployment of the Mobile Training Team BL 404-67X.  The Bolivian Army had long suffered from poor training and antiquated equipment. The influx of U.S. military equipment and personnel rapidly improved their capability in the 1960s. These U.S. WWII-era M-1 81 mm mortars with lightweight base plate were part of the Military Assistance Program given to the Bolivian Army. |

Yes, yes they are. And 7.65x53 Belgian Mauser was the first and correct designation.  Even CIP, based in Europe got it wrong. |
