Are they under US Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, Majors, Colonels and Generals? Or do they have one point man, a general or lieutenant colonel that answers to one of our generals? Do they function under the rules of Poland, UK and the Geneva convention or do they opearate under US or UN rules?

We can work with the UN just fine. The caveat is that our troops work under our rules and our courts. No ICC with fake drummed up charges by despot rulers.

I can't answer that. I imagine it is like WWII with Eisenhower leading the charge.

However we have the best trained, best equipped military in the world, so that is another story. Don't put our military under a third world leader who doesn't know which end of the gun to fire.
