古巴成为目标:据报道,随着特朗普声称共产主义政权“终将失败”,美军正在核查部队可用性。

在最近的一次联合国大会演讲中,特朗普总统宣称古巴的共产主义政权是一个“失败的国家”,在当前美国的压力下必将崩溃。其政府为动摇该国政权而采取的持续策略包括经济制裁和石油封锁。 在此番言论之后,哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)新闻披露,美国陆军正在评估特定支援部队的可用性,包括宪兵、医疗队和后勤营,以备在90至120天内根据南方司令部的指令进行潜在部署。虽然这份内部备忘录并未明确点名古巴或证实任何具体行动,但该请求与有关军事计划增加的广泛报道相吻合。这些报道包括此前对涉及第101空降师的空中突击行动的调查,以及《政治报》(Politico)关于中央情报局在岛上增加存在的报道。虽然目前没有迹象表明已经下达了部署命令,但这些动态反映出美国正针对古巴政权的未来加强应急计划。

President Trump told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that the failed communist island nation of Cuba would see freedom, as the U.S. has not been shy about its intentions to kick the communist regime out of Havana. The U.S. has employed gunboat diplomacy through an oil blockade this year, as the failed state has seen its economy collapse even further.

"My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure, the biggest pressure they've ever been under. It's an absolutely failed state; it's failing like never before, and it will fall," Trump said in his speech at UNGA.

With Trump's UNGA comments in mind, CBS News reports that it has reviewed an internal Army memo assessing the availability of military police, medical teams, and logistics units for possible use under Southern Command within 90 to 120 days.

The memo does not mention Cuba, identify troop numbers, or specify an operation. It also contains no indication that units have received deployment orders so far.

Here's more color from the report:

The document reviewed by CBS News says Army Reserve headquarters is seeking feedback from subordinate commands on the possible availability of six types of formations that would fall under the authority of U.S. Southern Command. The units would "possibly [be] needed in 90-120 days," according to the message, which directs commands to provide feedback to Army Reserve headquarters by Sept. 25. 

Among the units is a combat sustainment support battalion that specializes in coordinating logistics such as transportation, maintenance, fuel and supply needs, along with an engineer battalion. The document also seeks an expeditionary sustainment command that would oversee logistics across a theater of operations. 

The document generated last week also calls for a medical brigade to command and coordinate medical units, as well as a forward resuscitative and surgical detachment to provide emergency surgery and trauma care closer to U.S. forces. Finally, the document seeks a military police brigade — these units typically oversee military police forces responsible for security, detention and other law enforcement missions. 

In July, CBS reported that military planners had examined an air assault involving thousands of soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division. Another report by Politico in August suggested that the U.S. intelligence community had "sent spies and assets" to Cuba. Specifically, the outlet reported that the CIA had increased its presence on the island, which sits about 90 miles south of Florida.
