At present time, Cuba does not possess the military capability to shift the balance of power in the Caribbean region. Cuba's Armed Forces have been degraded to the point where they would be hard pressed to save guard its territorial integrity against many of the Latin America's militaries. If the current attrition and degradation rate continued, in the next five years, the FAR would be no more than a para-military force equipped with obsolete weapons systems to achieve its current military doctrine.
