The secretive teams of Green Berets guiding rebels in northeast Syria have expressed frustration with the amount of micromanagement they receive from a top-heavy headquarters in Iraq and the United States.
Special Forces sources tell of support staff watching the free-spirited Green Berets on reconnaissance aircraft and then criticizing their performance as they conduct the mission officially described as “train, advise and assist” the multi-ethnic Syrian Democratic Forces. The Americans and SDF are fighting their way toward Raqqa, the Islamic State terrorist army’s home base in Syria. Some of the “assisting” has drawn the Americans into firefights.
One officer chalked up the complaints to the sensitive political situation of U.S. troops on the ground in a chaotic country amid competing groups of Arab, Kurdish and Turkish forces, all converging with different objectives. The Green Berets, known officially as Army Special Forces, must act under strict combat rules after President Obama approved their insertion one year ago.

Won’t be long and we will have a real warrior straightening out this obama mess.
Yes, there is. It was explained to me many years ago by a charming lady who was CEO of a training company.
Either you start with goals, or you start with rules. A goal-based organisation sets the goals, gives the workers/soldiers the means to achieve them, and trusts them to do their job.
A rule-based system demands everyone "go by the book", and when the rules don't work, as is usually the case, the answer is more rules.
This destroys the organisation, for a simple reason. If you set goals, you hire people who are competent to do the job and achieve the goals. If you set rules, you hire people who cannot think, but merely tick boxes and write conformance reports.
Remember Dagny Taggart and James Taggart? That's the difference.
This is all about to end .
Adios p/c ROE’s.....
