In Secret, Obama Extended U.S. Military Role in Afghanistan Combat<http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=4z5Q7LhI+KVBjmEgFdYACPLKh239P3pgpzm657r4qCTGU/3bNb5Zd66dUb30U+AXhzgp/TaUe7P49+2Czo5n/RVosAbwvZLVSrttdt7zS8YzWak05lXo2S7B/eR++NgmPk/A7iZpdZoYiTnqN2eHGINYFzlEGGHN&campaign_id=132&instance_id=49607&segment_id=65686&user_id=ee7558d54531b290bd05280f4b7d6eb4&regi_id=73431>
President Obama signed a secret order in recent weeks authorizing a more expansive mission for the military in Afghanistan in 2015 than originally planned, a move that ensures American troops will have a direct role in fighting in the war-ravaged country for at least another year.
In an announcement in the White House Rose Garden in May, Mr. Obama said that the American military would have no combat role in Afghanistan next year, and that the missions for the 9,800 troops remaining in the country would be limited to training Afghan forces and to hunting the “remnants of Al Qaeda.”
But Mr. Obama’s secret order allows American forces to carry out missions against the Taliban and other militant groups threatening American troops or the Afghan government, a broader mission than the president described to the public earlier this year, according to several administration, military and congressional officials with knowledge of the decision. The new authorization also allows American jets, bombers and drones to support Afghan troops on combat missions.
