CUCUTA, Colombia, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Colombia deployed a new unit of 14,000 military personnel on Wednesday to increase government control of a conflict hotspot near the Venezuelan border, where multiple armed groups compete for control of cocaine production.

The new unit, known by CENOR, deployed in the northeastern province of Norte de Santander, is the largest in Colombia's recent history.

During a ceremony on Wednesday to mark CENOR's launch, President Ivan Duque said the unit will look to crush drug trafficking and terrorism, as well as toppling financing for organized crime.

CENOR will confront dissident members of the demobilized FARC rebels who reject a 2016 peace deal, guerrillas from the National Liberation Army (ELN), and criminal groups including the Clan del Gulfo, which compete to control crops of coca, the chief ingredient of cocaine

In the Naval Base, Simon Bolivar in Cartagena, Men and Women of the Colombian Navy paid a posthumous tribute to Admiral Rafael Grau Araujo, former National Navy Commander, Knight of the Wide Sea and military nobleman, an example of courage and gallantry that marked the course of the sailors of Colombia. From the Naval Force of the Caribbean we remember his leadership, courage and strength, exalting his deep love for the Sea, dedicating his life to the service of the Colombian Navy. He left under the call of the God of the Seas and from on high he will continue to be the beacon that guides the new generations of the Naval Institution. Eternal rest to the great man of Sea and War. Godspeed Admiral Grau
