okay, so my memory ain't what it used to be...but it seems during the Vietnam era, there was a concept of a theater-level SAF...(Security Assistance Force, Security Action Force, CRS, CRAFT, etc)...
the force was centered around a light infantry brigade and a Special Forces group...there were various support elements attached to the commands, as TR stated...
i seem to recall that the 173rd/1st SF were one SAF, the 193rd and the 8th SFGA were another...the last time i dealt with this doctrine was after OCS when Richard and i were indentured to the FID/IDAD committee of the Infantry School while waiting for IOBC...
i do know the 1st Group had an Engineer detachement (563rd or 536th, IIRC)...
and i seem to recall that there were attached MPs, as well...but that was another era, and the task organization was for a specific purpose...
