I was not commenting on national policy, only on the available forces.

And the Dutch. However, up until this year, only the Americans were in direct combat while all other ISAF forces, including the Canadians and the Brits concentrated around Kabul. The 3 PPCLI BG and the RM 4Cmdo Grp did see combat with the Americans but they were with the US 187 Regt at the time.

French SOF are active but they answer to SOCOM, not CENTCOM. I don't know who the 82nd are assigned under.

Those are through out this forum and I think WAB has had enough of my bellyaching about the UN. Let's just I have very little use for those suits coming from NY.
