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.

Considering the expanding regional crisis in the Middles East will continue to increase the refugee crisis at Europe's door step and poses a threat to the already fragile economic crisis in the EU, states such as Germany and France should be taking the lead. If the United States is not going to fully engage its diplomatic and armed forces into this situation, then other regional powers must.

No COL Mikel J. Burroughs I not know that Germany seems to have waited until the French government appealed to them to support the military campaign against ISIS.
Considering that Franco-German warfare dominated their relations in the 19th and 20th centuries from the Napoleonic Wars, through the Franco-Prussian war of 1871, WWI and WWII this is a good sign. Hopefully France and Germany will work together well in the future.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - It seems that your Black Friday "frenzy" may have been spent on posting thoughtful discussions on RallyPoint my friend.
That seems much better than jostling other customers in stores :-)

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I think it's a good thing. Germany must right now be facing many of it's own internal problems because the influx of immigrants it is expects to receive before the end of the year. It sends a message when european countries band together to fight a common enemy.
