U.S. Commander Doubts Shakeup Will Affect Rules On Force
Reuters, 25 June 2010
<snip> Major-General Richard Mills, a U.S. Marine Corps officer in command of NATO forces in southwestern Afghanistan, said Petraeus may review some policies; but he was not sure the shakeup would lead to any change in the rules of engagement governing the use of force by soldiers in Afghanistan.
"I think our rules of engagement are flexible enough that we are able to give the troops what they need," Mills told reporters in London via video link from the southern Afghan province of Helmand.
"I don't believe necessarily that the change that took place at headquarters ... will have direct impact on the street here in Helmand -- possibly never, certainly not for a while," he said. <snip>
