U.S. Troops To Serve Under Foreign Command In Afghanistan

[Mark E. Smith]

"For the first time in military history, U.S. military personnel are not under the
command of United States Generals." - Rush Limbaugh on Bosnia, apparently
unaware that US troops served under French generals in WW1 and the Revolutionary

12,000 soldiers to be affected as alliance consolidates authority

KABUL, Afghanistan - America's direct control of military operations in Afghanistan
will dwindle to a single air base within days as the NATO alliance assumes a nationwide
command that places 12,000 more U.S. troops under its authority, a spokesman for
the alliance said Sunday.

The expansion will consolidate military command under top NATO leader British Lt.
General David Richards and phase out the role of U.S. Lt. gen. Karl Eikenberry, whose
troops will be transferred to NATO, said Mark Laity, an alliance spokesman in Kabul.
