The Army Reserve has asked its commanders whether military police, medics and other support units could be made available as soon as late December to back potential military action aimed at Cuba, according to a new report.
An internal Army message reviewed by CBS News sought feedback by Friday about the status of those forces, which would be “possibly needed in 90-120 days.”
The missive does not mention Cuba, but the outlet cited multiple US officials who claimed anonymously that the Communist island is the focus of military planning.
The message also does not say how many troops would be needed, specify where they would be sent or denote what operation they would support. There is also no indication that units have been deployed overseas.
One of the units the Army Reserve reportedly asked about is a support battalion that specializes in coordinating logistics like transportation, maintenance, fuel and supply needs.
The message also inquired about an engineer battalion and a medical brigade, including a forward surgical detachment to provide trauma care, according to CBS.
A spokesperson for US Southern Command, which oversees military operations in Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, told CBS News that “due to operational security concerns, we do not disclose details or comment on US operational movements or potential deployment timelines associated with current or future operations, contingencies, or planning.
“However, US Southern Command continuously coordinates with the Joint Force to assess a range of potential requirements across its [area of responsibility] in support of assigned missions.”
Since the start of President Trump’s second term, Washington has asserted itself more aggressively in the Western Hemisphere as part of what officials call the “Donroe Doctrine.”

Awesome, we get Cuba for Christmas!
Come on man! We made an 1962 agreement not to invade. That agreement was made with a country that doesn’t exist anymore and we’re gonna use that as an excuse? What about the no threat to us argument? Let Cuba stew in it’s juices like they have been the last 70 years and save the internal overthrow credit for President Rubio.
IMHO this is a non-story. They probably ask about military redness for going into any country. It’s their job to be prepared for potential war.
This is nothing but the TDS kids at the NYP trying to cause trouble. Everything they do is part of the give the rats Congress mission.

Isn’t it suspicious that Trump would “ just happen” to bring this up.
The Cuban army will fight
They were effective in Angola.
Trump said a few days Iran was his “last” war, is he going right back to it?
So what brought this up? Does Hegseth smoke cigars?
This would be a police action😁
No army fights without food.

Sounds like a humanitarian relief operation similar to what the U.S. has done in Haiti.
The correct answer is “we can be ready by sunrise, sir”.

Trump brought up the ‘takeover’ of Greenland. European ‘friends’ had a fit. This is no different. Stir the pot and disturb the excrement.
Think 1980’s: We begin bombing in 5 minutes.
