Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces

The Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias, FAR) is the military of Cuba, established after the 1959 revolution that overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista. It includes the army, navy, and air force, and is responsible for defending the nation and supporting government policies. The FAR played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and has been involved in several international missions in other countries. The organization reflects Cuba's communist ideology and loyalty to its leadership, with a strong emphasis on national sovereignty and anti-imperialism.
