Can NATO intervene without heavy US military involvement? I don't think so. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

It's not clear to me that heavy military involvement is required. It's not a situation where you're trying to take over all of Sudan. It's just the Darfur region which is a small part of Sudan. The AU had some troops in Darfur. The AU could have sent more troops and was willing to, but didn't have the funds to do it. The French had troops on the border of Sudan protecting some refugee camps. Germany was donating some equipment. I've forgotten now what some other countries were doing. It was never enough, but they were doing something.
