Sounds like they are trying to create a equivalent of the French Foriegn Legion.
Actually, an FFL-like organization might be a good thing for the US to have in the future, as a cost savings device.
The FFL has some ground rules that a USFL would need to adopt. First of all, its officers would have to be active duty US officers. Next, it would be prohibited from entering the US, likely stationed on a Caribbean or Pacific island or atoll, like Johnston Atoll. It would be equipped to just be light infantry, with its transportation, logistics and communications handled by the US military.
On the plus side, it could recruit foreigners, not just US citizens.
Importantly, the *purpose* of this organization is not combat, but mostly low intensity, long term missions that are egregiously expensive for the US military to do. Using these personnel, such missions might be run for 1/10th the cost. Thus saving a LOT of money for our military to use on other things.
For example, a minor mission that lasts for six months and just needs “boots on the ground”, could save money in the tens of billions of dollars range.
More like the Eagle Squadrons.
