There's a lot of talk about the Posse Comitatus Act[0]. The real distinction is in "intent of the mission". A mission that is:
A)Conducted by United States Army or the United States Air Force, and
B)Conducted to enforce domestic policies within the United States
Would be in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. However, there is disagreement over whether this language may apply to troops used in an advisory, support, disaster response, or other homeland defense role, as opposed to domestic law enforcement.[1]
