This is how the Attorney General's Office attacks the CJNG: Its recruitment and logistics are attacked.

The fight against the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is witnessing a shift in strategy by federal forces. Recent operations, such as the dismantling of a recruiting ranch in Jalisco, suggest a focus on dismantling the cartel's "corporate infrastructure," not just its strike force.

Mexico City.- The federal government's security strategy against organized crime appears to be evolving. Rather than focusing solely on capturing leaders or engaging in direct confrontations, recent operations by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) reveal a more sophisticated approach: targeting the corporate structure of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

Two recent, coordinated attacks in Jalisco illustrate this new doctrine, which treats the cartel not as a simple criminal gang, but as an organization with human resources, logistics, and finance divisions.

The first blow was the takeover of Rancho Izaguirre in Teuchitlán, which served as a recruitment and training center. The Attorney General's Office discovered that the CJNG operated this center as a human resources department, offering "salaries" of up to 12,000 pesos per month to attract new members.

By dismantling this operation, the Attorney General's Office not only reduces the number of hitmen on the streets, but also disrupts the fundamental process by which the cartel feeds and replaces its victims.

The second, closely related blow was the capture of "Walter," identified as a suspected key supplier of arsenal and explosives to the CJNG. This arrest directly attacks the organization's supply chain, crippling its ability to equip its fighters.

Without a steady flow of weapons and explosives, the cartel's operational and intimidation capabilities are severely compromised.

This dual approach—attacking recruitment and logistics simultaneously—demonstrates a long-term strategic vision. Security experts point out that weakening a cartel's infrastructure can be more effective and sustainable than simply eliminating its leaders, who are often quickly replaced.

By treating the CJNG as the criminal organization it is, federal authorities are seeking to provoke a systemic collapse from within, cutting off its sources of personnel and material. The results of this strategy will be closely watched by security analysts across the country, as it could mark a turning point in the fight against organized crime in Mexico.
