Headquarters and support is a force multiplier,meand you see that in the big picture with regards to successful vs unsuccessful special forces operations then in comparison to conventional unit operations which will barely function without some fairly competent people in charge of getting beans bullets and bBandaids to the troops.
Obviously depends on the number of people there. As a Troop Commander, I had 5 cooks and a couple of supply guys, and a couple of commo guys for the Troop. If you have a cast of hundreds as in NV, it does take a platoon - but that is to make sure I don't run out of can Cokes.
