The French are gearing up for one helluva fight in N. Africa and when people talk US participation then the first force they think of is SOCOM.
I beg to differ.
The French have all the Special Operations outfits they could ever need. What they do need is a Stryker Brigade to help fill the line. The organic ISR, the capability to travel at high speed across great distances will be more important than a few selected raids.
If there was a Special Ops solution to this mess then the French would have already launched raids.
No, they need Strykers and maybe an A-10 squadron.
