During the phase of armed struggle the Green Army engaged not only in combat and sabotage operations against government targets, it also conducted state building and economic activities of many varieties in the areas under its control. The Green Army extorted taxes and royalties from every business in its territory, from sugar plantations to factories. It operated a human smuggling operation and also seized the homes and property of internally displaced people and either resold it or distributed it to its own fighters.
