️🇺🇸🇨🇺 CBS News: The US Army Reserve is looking into whether it can provide the Southern Command with military police, medical and other units within the next 90-120 days. Multiple US officials said the request is part of continued military planning related to Cuba, although the document itself does not mention Cuba.

The requested formations include a combat sustainment support battalion, an engineer battalion, an expeditionary sustainment command, a medical brigade, a surgical detachment and a military police brigade. There are no indications that any of the units received deployment orders, while Southern Command declined to comment on potential operational movements or deployment timetables.

The development follows the US advancing military planning for possible action against Cuba, including options involving thousands of troops, while the Trump administration has simultaneously increased economic pressure on Havana and called for political change. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has said Cuba will resist any US attack, while Trump has previously made increasingly explicit statements about possible action against the island.
