I'm not wrong, general Patreaus or any other general establishes rules of engagment from orders he recives from the civilian commander in chief. I'm ex military, it was drilled into us from the start who was really in controle of all combat procedures we were to adhear to via chain of command and the command chain stops at the president of the US..a civilian. Anything rules wise is done after the commander in chief has given the go ahead for those specific rules.

Techically, US troops are never suppose to fall under UN command/Nato command/ or any other foreign command, the only reason they are is because the president okayed it. ( wich constitutionally, he is not supposed to do) has something to do with not haveing to serve under another King, goes back to the revolution.
