I could see several destinations - one could be that the US Marines went to Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands - both of which could use those troops very badly. Or they could have gone to Key West. Considering the distances involved I would think it would be Puerto Rico.
The Caribbean could be a very interesting area indeed for ops in T2000
Consider the following:
Dutch Marines that would love to get payback on the French for what they have done to the Netherlands
Pirate activities as detailed in Gateway to the Spanish Main
Soviet Spetsnaz ops against Puerto Rico that have left personnel stranded there
Puerto Rico possibly devolving into pro-US vs. independence forces fighting it out
breakdown of nation states like Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican - or possibly wars between them
even something like Barbados, who has a small but efficient military, trying to take over neighboring islands that dont have anything but police to fight back
add in a nice brew of New America possibly trying to build an empire in the Caribbean by taking over islands in the Bahamas or elsewhere and you have a pretty interesting area even if you never did Gateway to the Spanish Main
