History
The unit was created at the early stage of the war. The name Task Force Baguette was chosen in homage to the French volunteers in the unit. Almost half of the team was American and the other half was French or Francophone. The real number of members is unknown but it is supposedly around 10 to 20 professionals and highly trained ex NATO soldiers. All of them have previous military and combat experience.

They were rapidly deployed for their first mission to the front line in Kharkiv to defend the city against the Russian Invader where they destroyed at least 1 Tank, 2 Armored vehicles, 2x 120mm mortars, 1 TIGR vehicle, and about 20 soldiers. All of that in less than 3 months.

In September 2023, they were still active and fighting in Ukraine.

Operations
The unit has taken part in multiple major battles :


 * Kharkiv city (April 2022 - July 2022 )
 * Kharkiv Oblast offensive (September 2022)
