The U.S. Army Reserve is checking whether it can supply U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) with military police, medical units, and logistics support within the next four months, according to an internal Army message reviewed by CBS News. The document doesn't mention Cuba, but multiple officials tell CBS the planning is aimed at the island. No units have received deployment orders.
Commands were asked about six unit types possibly needed in 90 to 120 days, including military police, medical, and logistics battalions, with responses due today. SOUTHCOM declined to comment on operational planning.
This follows months of reported U.S. planning around Cuba, including seafloor reconnaissance, airpower units placed on heightened readiness, and a July report on options including a hypothetical 101st Airborne air assault, officials stressed no decision to act had been made.
At the UN this week, President Donald J. Trump said the U.S. is seeking a "fundamental change" in Cuba and predicted its government "will fall," prompting the Cuban delegation to walk out. Cuban President Díaz-Canel has accused the U.S. of "aggression" and vowed to counter any attack.

BREAKING: A 17 character EAM broadcast this afternoon.
17 chars are the shortest EAMs on record, and the only ones we know ever broadcast were all this year, after the war in Iran began. (They may correlate with escalations?)

Notably, this would be to bolster existing units in the region, not a new set of operational capacity.
MQ-9s are present at Roosevelt Roads in Ceiba, PR; CSL Comalapa in El Salvador; (Likely) at Manta Air Base, Ecuador; and multiple units are to be transferred to Colombia.
Twenty five years ago today tragedy struck.
Two decades later the world still faces its share of horrors. Yet a couple washing their Mazda Miata with the ruins of the World Trade Center behind them is a quiet reminder that life goes on.
