		After French General Henri Giraud broke his parole given to the Germans and rejoined the war in Operation Torch, the allied invasion of Vichy-controlled French North Africa, de Gaulle outmaneuvered him to keep his leadership of the Free French.

		While SOCOM was the anointed leader in anti-terrorist operations, the combat commands already had intelligence and combat operations underway against terrorists in their parts of the world.
