U.S. Military Preps Cuba Action

The U.S. Army Reserve asked subordinate commands whether they could make support units available to U.S. Southern Command within roughly three months for possible operations tied to Cuba. The planning comes as the Trump administration has increased pressure on Cuba through sanctions and public calls for political change. Multiple U.S. officials said the planning is focused on Cuba. Southern Command said it would not discuss operational movements or possible deployment timelines for security reasons, while saying it regularly checks possible military needs. Trump told the United Nations he wants fundamental change in Cuba and predicted its government would fall, prompting Cuba’s delegation to walk out. The timeline points to possible movement by late December, but no decision is confirmed.
