Srs question: I've never served, but has there been any recent (this century?) action in which American forces used the command "Fix Bayonets"?
Not what you asked, but I know the British have used bayonets successfully in the latest wars.

Ya, I have to say, when I hear anyone talk about bayonets, this is what's in my head:

I tend to remember my battalion commander breaking his elbow on the first obstacle on the bayonet course at Ft Ord, but the number of folks there that day is kind of a small sample size...

You might like this story.
We supplied a pretty large networked simulation system for the British Army, at the Battlegroup level (Mech: Warrior IFV, Armor: Challenger 2). So after we turned the system over to the Maintenance Contractor (this was our installation in Warminster, the home of mechanised training in the UK) we had quite the run on replacement browpads.
(For those who might now know, the browpad is a small soft part that you place your forehead on when using the gun sight of the main tank cannon (120 mm / Challenger 2) we were simulating.)
Anyway, we did a FRACAS analysis on our spares, because we really did not spare all that many browpads, to be honest, in our spares allotment.
Come to find out, we had had a couple Scots Regiments (Black Watch, IIRC) come through.
Apparently the guys got bored on their exercises and started to chew on the browpads.
I swear I am not making this up.
