TALENT Coverage of Cuba
1. The COMOR has today reviewed the need for weekly
coverage of the Guantanamo area and Havana. CINCLANT continues
to consider the need for surveillance on a weekly basin critical.
2. The last mission provided current information on all
targets of interest in Cuba. There was at that time no indication of
military buildup in the vicinity of Havana which would suggest immi-
nent hostilities on the part of the Cubans. However, since there
exists an elaborate trench network around Guantanamo and since it is
possible for Castro to amass as many as twenty thousand men within
forty-eight hours in the area for attack on the base, it is imperative
that we check anew to see what development has taken place.
3. As far as COMOR knows there is no new development
in terms of estimates of possibilities of anti-U.S. military efforts by
Castro nor any imminent needs for evacuation of U. S. personnel from
the Havana area. The situation remains tenseD however, and for the
U.S. Military Forces to be able to respond immediately and effectively
in the event of an emergency, the specific recoverage of Havana and
Guantanamo is necessary.
4. Recommendation: It is recommended that as soon as
feasible TALENT coverage of Guantanamo area and the Havana area
be obtained.
