MBGDF Cuba

The MBGDF Cuba (Marine Battalion of the Border Guards, "Batallón de Guardafronteras de Cuba") is a specialized military unit within the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, tasked primarily with coastal defense and border security. Established in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution, the unit played a significant role in safeguarding Cuban territorial waters against infiltration, smuggling, and unauthorized incursions during the height of Cold War tensions. Throughout the decades, MBGDF Cuba has participated in various national security operations, often cooperating with the Cuban Navy and other security agencies. The battalion continues to serve as a crucial component of Cuba’s maritime defense and border control strategy.
