Summary:  
The document details Soviet military activity in Cuba during late 1963, focusing on movements between Batabano and Isla de Pinos. On October 28, two olive-green ten-wheeled trucks driven by militiamen arrived in Batabano and were transported to Isla de Pinos via ferry. On October 31, two trucks hauling boxes reached the port of Catabando (likely a misspelling of Batabano). On November 6, 24 men described as Soviet operatives arrived in Batabano by truck and boarded a ferry for Isla de Pinos. The report notes discrepancies in timing and details, with field comments indicating potential reliability issues.
