The U.S. Army Reserve is looking into whether it can provide police, medical and logistics units to the U.S. Southern Command within 90-120 days as part of ongoing military planning related to Cuba.

An internal military statement did not mention Cuba or specify any deployment orders, but U.S. officials said planning focused on potential operations related to the island. The requested units include logistics, engineering, medical and military police formations.

The planning comes as the Trump administration increases pressure on Cuba through sanctions and demands for political change.

Earlier reports said US military planners were examining possible options for action against the island, but officials stressed no decision had been made.
