Technical teams from the U.S. Army have been preparing a report since May for what appears to be a deployment of forces in Cuba.
CBS News and Axios reported that, in particular, the U.S. Army Reserve is analyzing the logistics to have police forces, medical personnel, and other support units ready to back Southern Command at some point within the next four months. The media described these actions as "preparations for potential action around Cuba."
While the document does not mention Cuba, multiple U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity stated that the communist island would be the center of the activity. Among the units whose preparation is being evaluated are "a combat sustainment support battalion that specializes in coordinating logistics such as transportation, maintenance, fuel, and supply needs, along with an engineer battalion."
The report also requests information about "a medical brigade to command and coordinate medical units, as well as an advanced resuscitation and surgery detachment to provide emergency surgery and trauma care closer to U.S. forces."
In the event that Trump takes military action against the Cuban communist regime, a presidential advisor assured that the troops sent to the island would not stay there for long. "The president does not want boots on the ground for more than 48 hours. It's a potential quagmire. This could get complicated," the source said.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is leading the charge against the Castro dictatorship. "Cuba is in a lot of trouble because, unfortunately for them, it is run by a bunch of incompetent communists. Being a communist is bad, being an incompetent communist is like the worst," the senior official stated. "Having a failed state 90 miles from our shores is a threat to U.S. national security," he added.
