In 1903. as a result of the CubanAmerican treaty. the United States began to occupy Naval Station Guantanamo Bay for at least as long as necessary or in perpetuity for naval operations. The treaty stated that the U.S. shall exercise complete jurisdiction and control of the base. while also recognizing the sovereignty of Cuba. Today. Naval Station Guantanamo is a front line for our regional security in the Caribbean. It supports our Navy logistical work. drug interdiction. DHS migrant operations. and. importantly. disaster and humanitarian relief. including responding to the 1980s and 1990s mass migration. as well as the 2010 Haiti earthquake response. Very importantly is what this measure does not do. This measure does not touch the detention facility and the politics of the detention facility.
