In May 1912, revolt again flared in Cuba, and Vogel was reposted to the 2nd Marine Regiment. The regiment then sailed as a part of the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade to Nipe Bay on the northern coast of Cuba and helped quell the revolt. Vogel came back to the United States in August 1912 and joined the Marine detachment aboard the battleship USS "Nebraska" one month later. While aboard the ship, Vogel participated in the American occupation of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution in May–June 1914.
