The U.S. Army has asked its Reserve commands to check what forces could be sent to Southern Command within the next four months. Seven American warships and a nuclear submarine are already positioned in the Caribbean, and two of them just docked at Guantanamo Naval Base, on Cuban soil.
The internal memo doesn't name Cuba directly, but U.S. officials confirmed to CBS News that the request is tied to military planning around the island. This video breaks down the six types of units the Army is checking availability for, the warships and troops already positioned in the Caribbean under Operation Southern Spear, how this buildup compares to what preceded the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, and the two ways a possible operation in Cuba could unfold — ground assault or a purely air and naval campaign.
