Unlikely Allies: U.S. and Cuban Armed Forces

By William M. LeoGrande

"I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4,000 Cubans who are trained to kill me," sneered Guantánamo base commander Marine Col. Nathan R. Jessup, Jack Nicolson's character in the hit movie A Few Good Men. As an isolated U.S. military outpost on Cuban territory, Gitmo was a flashpoint for conflict after the 1959 revolution. U.S. soldiers on the base and Cuban soldiers surrounding the periphery exchanged insults, threw stones, and occasionally fired bullets across the fence. But the decision by President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro in December 2014 to normalize relations has opened an as yet unexplored opportunity for mending fences: military cooperation.
