US Preparing for Possible Military Action in Cuba

Published Sep 25, 2026 · via Primera Hora

According to a report by CBS News, the US Army is preparing for possible military action in Cuba. The US Army Reserve is studying the potential deployment of police reinforcements, medical personnel, and other support units to the US Southern Command over the next four months. The request is part of military planning directed at Cuba, although the message does not contain direct references to the island.

The document, dated last week, comes amid increased pressure from the Trump Administration on Cuba. The US Southern Command has requested information on the availability of six units, including a combat logistics support battalion and an engineer battalion, which would be needed within 90 to 120 days. A spokesperson for the US Southern Command stated that the unit continuously coordinates with the Joint Force to evaluate potential requirements in its area of responsibility.

The latest incident between Trump and Cuban authorities occurred at the UN General Assembly, where the Cuban delegation walked out after Trump called Cuba a 'failed state'.
