Note that TF Bayonet had neither an organic forward support battalion nor normal combat service support units, as was doctrine at the time. Limited support was provided by the 41st Area Support Group (which had theater-wide responsibilities), but lacking a dedicated Forward Support Battalion, the Brigade's logistical support operations were significantly strained. A fifth maneuver battalion had originally been slated for TF Bayonet, for the purpose of having a two-battalion attack at the Commandancia – which was to be the main attack of JUST CAUSE.
In fact, TF Bayonet did not have the typical forward support battalion or standard combat service support units, according to the prevailing doctrine at that time. Although some limited support was provided by the 41st Area Support Group, the Brigade's logistical operations were significantly hampered due to the lack of a dedicated Forward Support Battalion. Initially, a fifth maneuver battalion had been intended for TF Bayonet in order to execute a two-battalion assault at the Commandancia – which would serve as the main attack of JUST CAUSE.
