What should their acceptable mission be?

They are there so now that’s it’s not if or when but happening what should they be allowed or ordered to do?

Rescue Americans?
Work side by side with IDF?
Fly CAS missions?
Prevent “squirters”?

What IYO should the American troops be doing in Israel? Not being there isn’t an option any more.

Edit:

Not sure why so many are downvoting this post. I’m not advocating troops on the ground, I’m saying since they are now there what should their mission be…

Zero mission is the only acceptable mission.
Stay the frick out of it.

Green and Black ops are already participating actively in hostage/body recoveries for repatriation to their home nations.

I suspect if they are engaged, that should mean they would summarily put down the immediate threat that hinders their mission.

Aside from that, we should have no further involvement.

So let Americans be killed and held hostage without us doing anything? Seems like a dangerous precedent.

At this point I think the only mission for US boots on ground is rescuing US prisoners

Do we have troops on the ground in Israel? I haven’t seen that announced anywhere. Though I’ve mostly just been getting updates from the main thread.

All Americans there are dual citizens who live there. They chose to live there. It’s not Americans who were visiting Paris and came under attack.

Yes, it won’t be announced. We also have NGOs & intel in country (specifically) due to this. It’s not regular units, but they are close by in other countries staged and on ships.

In regards to the OP and what you were asking, we have no reason to put them (non special forces) in there and we shouldn’t.

These are very complicated questions that require a multifaceted answer but in the interest of brevity, I’ll try to address it as succinctly yet as eloquently as possible:

This needs more upvotes and the OP needs to be obliterated with downvotes!

C’mon baws! Do your thing!

Lots of non dual citizens there at any given time as tourists.
