While the risk of getting bogged down in Libya is increasing, there are voices calling for the deployment of special forces from NATO on Libyan soil. Tuesday, April 19, Britain announced the dispatch of an onsite team of "experienced military" with the National Transitional Council (CNT) to provide a "non-lethal assistance".
France, which ruled out any deployment of ground forces, said on Wednesday sending a small number of French officers with the CNT. For General Francart Wolf, former head of the Research Centre of the doctrinal Army specialist and management of international crises, the intervention of special forces is inevitable.
Special forces can be brought completely independently of the body of the army. That is to say that the high command may appeal only to them, or bring them in advance of a military deployment, or after a military classic, "final". United States and the United Kingdom, special forces may operate in a clandestine manner, but not in France, officially.
It is not safe. It depends on the tasks given to them. If they are simple reconnaissance missions to help protect people, it seems perfectly logical and normal use. The Atlantic Alliance is not so divided as that. In fact, NATO is four large countries, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Germany.
And these four countries know that inevitably, they need the intervention of special forces to defuse the conflict, because they can not afford to prolong the conflict. Charlotte Chabas
