Dirección de Contra-Inteligencia Militar
Military Counterintelligence Department
Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces
The principal intelligence collection arms of the Cuban government are the
General Intelligence Directorate (DGI) of the Ministry of the Interior, and
the Military Counterintelligence Department of the Ministry of
Revolutionary Armed Forces. Both have been closely associated with the
Soviet and Russian intelligence services. The relationship between these
services is likely to continue based upon the June 14, 1993 agreement on
military cooperation between Russia and Cuba.
The
Military Intelligence Department is focused on collecting information on the
U.S. Armed Forces and coordinates SIGINT operations with the Russians
at Lourdes. The Military Counterintelligence Department is responsible for
conducting counterintelligence, SIGINT, and electronic warfare activities
against the United States.
