It doesn't sound like they had to do much of anything. The repeated complaint from defending troops is running out of food and ammo. They didn't really even have the option to fight. Every soldier is also 100% certain their government is unbelievably corrupt, which can't help. If you read about Castro and his men taking over Cuba, they got people to give up military outposts just by firing at them few times. They had no real interest in fighting for their leadership.
