Joint Task Force-Bravo History
U.S. and Honduran forces conducted combined training exercises as early as 1965. In 1983, the Honduran government requested an increase in the size and number of those exercises, and as a result, JTF-Bravo was established in August 1984. JTF-Bravo was established to exercise command and control of U.S. Forces and exercises in the Republic of Honduras, and is a subordinate command of the United States Southern Command. Before being designated JTF-Bravo in 1984, this task force was known as JTF-11 and then as JTF-Alpha.
