Aside from the detainment facility, does Guantanamo Bay have any other continuous Joint missions?

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is on the front lines for regional security in the Caribbean area. The base supports the ability of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships, along with allied nation ships to operate in the Caribbean area by providing contingency and quality logistical support with superior services and facilities. The base also supports the Department of Homeland Security in U.S. migrant operations to help care for displaced migrants from the surrounding area, effectively helping control the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

It is a very big SIGINT platform. You can't miss the antenna farm.

The Army has a Vet Services detachment down there, but everything else is Intel and detainees.
