两名参议员——一名共和党人和一名民主党人——警告国防部长彼得·黑格斯泰斯不要重新安置并削减负责调查所谓”异常健康事件”(AHI)（俗称哈瓦那综合征）的五角大楼团队的资源，他们认为此举将削弱对受影响人员的护理并阻碍正在进行的研究。
在周一发送给黑格斯泰斯的一封信中，新罕布什尔州民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣和缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯对国防部内部报告的将协调部门对哈瓦那综合征应对工作的跨职能团队（CFT）从目前政策副部长办公室下的位置转移的计划表示担忧。
尽管拟议的变更在内部被描述为官僚重组，但参议员们警告称，这可能会有效地使该团队靠边站，并削弱其研究根本原因和确定受害者护理方案的能力。
“我们有责任在对AHI的归因和技术研究持续进行的同时，确保这些人员继续获得护理，而这只能由目前形式的CFT来完成，”参议员们在信中写道。
五角大楼尚未回应关于是否有搬迁CFT计划的置评请求。《华盛顿 examiner》首先报道称，官员们正考虑将该团队从负责政策的国防部副部长的职责范围转移到负责研究与工程的国防部副部长的职责范围。
AHI指的是一系列无法解释的神经系统症状，2016年首先由美国驻古巴人员报告，后来在其他地区也有报道。根据多项调查，报告的症状包括剧烈头痛、头晕和眩晕、耳鸣、恶心、视力问题以及使人衰弱的认知影响。
在过去十年中，已有超过1500起此类症状报告。截至2024年，未分类的美国政府问责局报告确定有334名美国政府人员通过军事医疗系统寻求AHI相关护理。
一位资深国会官员告诉CBS新闻，在特朗普政府第二个任期的第一年又报告了更多病例，但出于保密考虑拒绝提供更多细节。该官员要求匿名讨论敏感的国家安全事务。
CBS新闻已联系负责美军人员AHI医疗评估和治疗的国防健康局请求置评。
国会官员表示，CFT”对这一群体的人员来说一直是非常重要的资源”，它作为”中央信息库”，使受害者能够获得护理、通过《哈瓦那法案》立法处理赔偿申请、讨论关于定向能武器的更广泛研究，甚至只是有一个能让他们的症状得到重视的地方。
“解散一个由拥有数十年经验的精心挑选的专家团队，要么是无能的表现，要么是掩盖真相，”曾在哈瓦那服役的前中情局行动官员”亚当”告诉CBS新闻，”如果黑格斯泰斯部长知道这对他如此坚决想要保护和照顾的战士意味着什么，他绝不会批准这样做。”
CFT根据2022财年《国防授权法案》成立，旨在集中部门对AHI的应对工作。AHI已影响数百名美国政府人员，包括军人、外交官和情报官员。其职责范围包括医疗护理、根据《哈瓦那法案》处理福利事宜、研究以及与调查潜在原因的部门进行协调。
2024年完成的一项多年期情报界评估得出结论，外国对手”极不可能”对大多数报告的AHI负责，尽管一些相关专家小组认为定向脉冲电磁能是部分病例的合理解释。国家情报总监办公室正在对情报界此前对这些事件的调查进行审查，但尚未公开。
CBS新闻此前报道，美国政府在2024年底秘密收购了一种官员认为可能与AHI有关的设备。五角大楼已对该设备进行了一年多的测试，该设备发射脉冲射频能量，含有俄罗斯制造的组件。
一些议员和受影响人员批评情报界先前的结论，并要求更严格的调查和透明度。参议员们在信中指出，自2024年以来，CFT未被允许就其调查结果进行简报，他们表示这”不仅违反了法律，还引发了对贵部门内某些人继续CFT重要工作的动机的担忧”。
国会官员指出，国防部在领导层层面并未失去兴趣。”当CFT向部长简报时，他一直愿意接受，”但他表示，其他官僚层级对此投入较少——甚至公开反对——调查这一问题。
根据信件内容，黑格斯泰斯在去年的确认听证会后，向参议院武装部队委员会提交书面答复，承诺”全力支持国防部设施继续为患有AHI症状的外交官、情报专业人员和其他美国政府雇员提供护理”。
参议员们在给黑格斯泰斯的信中表示，对CFT的任何变更”似乎都与你的优先事项以及总统的优先事项不符”。
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Susan Collins urge Pentagon not to sideline Havana Syndrome research
February 3, 2026 / 6:00 AM EST / CBS News
Two senators — one Republican and one Democrat — warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against relocating and reducing resources for a Pentagon team charged with investigating so-called “Anomalous Health Incidents,” or AHI, colloquially known as Havana Syndrome, arguing that such a move would undercut care for affected personnel and stall ongoing research.
In a letter sent to Hegseth on Monday, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine raised concerns about reported plans within the Department of Defense to shift the cross-functional team, known as a CFT, that coordinates the department’s response to the Havana Syndrome out of its current position under the Office of the Under Secretary for Policy.
While the proposed change has been described internally as a bureaucratic reorganization, the senators cautioned that it could effectively sideline the team and weaken its ability to research the underlying cause and identify care for victims.
“We owe it to these personnel to continue to receive care while ongoing research is done on attribution and technology, which can only be done by the CFT in its current form,” the senators wrote.
The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment on whether it had any plans to relocate the CFT. The Washington Examiner first reported officials were considering moving the team from the portfolio of the under secretary of defense for policy to the under secretary of defense for research and engineering.
AHI refers to a suite of unexplained neurological symptoms first reported by American personnel in Havana, Cuba, beginning in 2016 and later elsewhere. Reported symptoms include intense headaches, dizziness and vertigo, ringing in the ears, nausea, vision problems and debilitating cognitive effects, according to multiple investigations.
There have been more than 1,500 reports of the condition over the past decade. An unclassified Government Accountability Office report previously identified 334 U.S. government personnel who sought care for AHI through the military health system as of 2024.
A senior congressional official told CBS News additional cases were reported during the first year of the second Trump administration, but declined to provide further details due to classification concerns. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters.
CBS News has reached out for comment to the Defense Health Agency, which manages medical assessments and treatments for AHI among servicemembers.
The CFT “has been a very important resource to the people in this cohort,” the congressional official said, noting it serves as a “central repository” for victims to access care, navigate compensation claims through Havana Act legislation, discuss broader research into directed energy weapons, or even just have a place where their symptoms are taken seriously.
“Disbanding a carefully curated team of experts with decades of experience reeks of either incompetence or a cover-up,” former CIA operations officer ‘Adam,’ who served in Havana, told CBS News. “If Secretary Hegseth knew what this would mean for the war fighter that he so adamantly wants to protect and care for, there’s no way he would sign off.”
The CFT was established in the FY2022 National Defense Authorization Act to centralize the department’s response to AHI, which has affected hundreds of U.S. government personnel, including military service members, diplomats, and intelligence officers. Its mandate spans medical care, benefits processing under the Havana Act, research, and coordination with investigative elements examining potential causes.
A multi-year intelligence community assessment concluded in 2024 that a foreign adversary is “very unlikely” to be responsible for most reported AHIs, though some adjacent expert panels have suggested directed, pulsed electromagnetic energy as a plausible explanation for a subset of cases. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has been conducting a review of the intelligence community’s previous investigations of the incidents, but it has not been made public.
CBS News previously reported the U.S. government quietly acquired a device in late 2024 that officials believe may be connected to AHIs. The Pentagon has been testing the device, which emits pulsed, radio-frequency energy, and contains Russian-made components, for more than a year.
Some lawmakers and affected personnel have criticized the intelligence community’s prior conclusions and pressed for more rigorous investigation and transparency. In their letter, the senators noted the CFT had not been made available to provide briefings on its findings since 2024, which they said was “not only a violation of the law, but raises concerns over the motivations of some within your Department on continuing the CFT’s important work.”
The congressional official noted that the Defense Department has not lost interest at the leadership level. “When the CFT has briefed the Secretary…he has been receptive,” but said other bureaucratic levels were less invested in — and even overtly opposed to — investigating the issue.
According to the letter, Hegseth, following his confirmation hearing last year, submitted written answers to the Senate Armed Services Committee committing to “fully support DoD facilities continuing to care for diplomats, intelligence professionals and other U.S. government employees suffering AHI symptoms.”
The senators in their letter to Hegseth said any change to the CFT would “appear to be out of line with both your priorities and those of the President.”
