Most Dominican laws and institutions remained intact under military rule, although the shortage of Dominicans willing to serve in the cabinet forced the military governor, Rear Admiral Harry S. Knapp, to fill a number of portfolios with United States naval officers.

In the Dominican Republic, it appears that the sabal palm may be found thriving in regions with either type of parent material.
