As of September 27, 2026, the US may be preparing for a military operation against Cuba. According to CBS News, American military forces are conducting preparatory measures in light of a possible conflict that could commence within the coming months.
Military Unit Preparations
According to an internal army document, the US Army Reserve is considering transferring additional units to the Southern Command within the next 90–120 days. This includes:
- military police;
- medical units;
- engineering units;
- logistical units.
The document does not contain specific orders for troop deployment, nor does it specify the number of soldiers or potential missions. However, CBS News notes that this request is linked to military planning regarding Cuba amid increasing pressure from Washington on Havana.
Context of Tension Between the US and Cuba
In recent years, relations between the US and Cuba have remained tense. Washington continues to impose sanctions and political pressure on Havana, which may be a reason for the preparations for possible military actions. Military experts believe that the situation could escalate if a diplomatic resolution to the conflict is not found.
