On March 26, 1959, less than 12 weeks after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution (January 1), Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz ordered the establishment of the State Security Organs, a merger of the Department of Investigation of the Rebel Army (DIER) and the intelligence

The OSE came into being in response to the need to strengthen the country’s defensive actions against the acts of sabotage, pirate plane raids, conspiracies, and smear campaigns concocted in the U.S. since January 1st, 1959.
