MOBILIZATION OF THE HIGH COMMAND RESERVE

In the event of Fidel Castro’s death, the Commandante’s High Command Reserve (Reserva del Alto Mando — RAM) would be mobilized to thwart any internal popular unrest as it was during the August 5, 1994 Maleconazo.

“In mid-September [2004], Jane’s Intelligence Digest reported that the Ukraine is exporting military equipment (light infantry weapons coupled with small and medium sized military vehicles) to Cuba and Venezuela, with first shipments scheduled to take place sometime during September and October.

The exportation of military equipment to Cuba has thus generated speculation that Cuba’s armed forces are attempting to modernize their equipment and therefore, the RAM will heavily benefit from such modernization, in which its capability is fortified as the regime’s principle counterattack protection force.”
