Dr. Max G. Manwaring, Professor of Military Strategy in the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC), has penned an op-ed titled. “The Role of Cuban Paramilitary Organizations (People’s Militias) in the Post-Castro Era.”

For 50 years, Cuba’s popular militias (paramilitary organizations) have been expected to act as “midwifes for new social orders” (as they did in Africa during the 1960s and early 1970s), and to help defend and maintain the revolutionary Socialist state. Anyone contemplating the post-Castro Era in Cuba will certainly have to take these paramilitary organizations into consideration.
