They began as thirty deserters from GAFE (Spanish initials: "Special Forces Airmobile Group") an airborne unit of the Mexican Army, that joined the [[Gulf Cartel]] as a hit squad. They grew and got more and more violent, eventually leading to a split from the Gulf Cartel. Because of their aggressive behavior, the Mexican government focused a lot of attention on them, and for much of the early 2010's they were considered Mexico's most dangerous cartel, in part because of their sophistication and resources. In fact in 2012, the [[Jalisco New Generation Cartel]], La Resistencia, and the Gulf Cartel formed a united front against them in Zacatecas, which was partially successful in stopping their expansion.
