Germany will join the military campaign against ISIS militants in Syria by deploying Tornado reconnaissance jets, refueling aircraft and a frigate to the region, after a direct appeal from close partner France for Berlin to do more.
The decision to commit military personnel and hardware is a shift for Germany, which has resisted such direct involvement in the conflict. It still has no plans to join France, the United States and Russia in conducting air strikes in Syria.
"Today the government took difficult but important and necessary decisions," Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen told reporters after meeting with lawmakers. "We are standing with France, which was hit by these inhuman attacks from IS."
Chancellor Angela Merkel promised the support, which must still be approved by parliament, during talks with French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Wednesday.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Mikel; Does it really matter who gets to ride the white horse in the victory parade?
Isn't the actual intent to defeat the ISISites?
If so, does it really matter who the "leader" is?

It seems COL Mikel J. Burroughs that although the US is offering some support of the French attacks by ISIS, the typical leadership that the US usually brings to such a situation is totally lacking. Instead, unbelievably, Vladimir Putin and Russia seem to be stepping up to lead a coalition to fight against ISIS, and replace the vacuum that has been left.

No, but it is good news. When America goes wobbly it will be up to other nations to defend themselves - for the first time since WWII.
