Story summary

CBS News reports that the U.S. Army Reserve is reviewing a request from Southern Command to provide military police forces, medical personnel, and other support units over the next four months. This planning comes amid rising tensions with Cuba, following recent statements by President Donald Trump, who described Cuba as "a failed state" at the UN General Assembly. However, no specific deployment orders have been issued yet, and officials cited operational security reasons for not disclosing further details about potential movements or timelines.
