Operation Anaconda was a covert mission instigated jointly by the CIA and United States Department of Defense during the French occupation of Siam during the early and mid-1990's. The core of Anaconda was the provision of direct funds to the various factions fighting French control and the direct importation of American and Chinese-made weapons into Siam. Anaconda relied heavily on local smugglers and a good relationship with the Chinese government that allowed for an expanded rate of gun-running into Siam than was previously possible when only the Chinese were involved.
