This article proposes an approximation of the intelligence advice given by Argentine civilian agents, incorporated to the 601st Intelligence Battalion of their country, to the Honduran armed forces, as part of the intervention carried out by the Argentine Military Junta in the Central American conflict, from the end of the seventies until 1983. The studies carried out to date have allowed us to begin to understand the Argentine military intervention in the Central American conflict in the context of the Latin American Cold War, and particularly that of that region. These works have developed an analysis of the subject in two ways: on the one hand, they problematize the role played by the Argentine military junta in the Central American conflict, and on the other hand, they develop a work that can understand the Latin American Cold War from this region of the world.
