Remember that, in the last week of December, President Trump decided to send the Arizona 850th Military Police Battalion (800 members) for a nine-month mission to Gitmo base in Cuba. They deployed on the Friday between Christmas and New Year.
At the time, there were only a handful of detainees left in Guantanamo base (55 is the official figure). Sending an 800 person battalion to guard them seems a bit excessive. You could speculate that the US was preparing for a huge influx of prisoners into GITMO, since the base had recently (over past 24 months) received $800 Million Dollars to rebuild not only the Base Housing but the prison itself.
I believe that, before Trump took office, Gitmo was designed to hold about 800 prisoners. (At one time years ago, they had 780 people detained). Over the past 3-years, Gitmo has expanded to about 4 X it's original size.
If anyone was wondering about the PLAN... explain why Gitmo suddenly needed 800 additional guards for 9-months... and why the U.S. spent $800 Million building up a much larger facility with thousands of new cells for housing only 51 prisoners? I believe the planning for SHTF started a few years ago.
From what I understand, the docks at Gitmo were worked on to permit huge ships to dock there, including two large prison barges that can contain thousands of prisoners each. Old concrete piers were removed and replaced with new piers that can berth decommissioned Navy vessels or the prison barges.
There is far more going on than ANY of us know about.
Pictures of expansion, links to orders sending troops to Gitmo. maybe pics before and after from satellites. wonderful loaf of bread but I would like to see some butter and jam to go with it.
There are before and after pics on google
