Pentagon report reveals confusion among US troops over role in Afghanistan mission - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): 

A Pentagon report has laid bare the confusion over rules of engagement governing the mission in Afghanistan.
Key points:

Critics say confusion stems from political narratives that define troops as "advisers"

The heavily redacted document has revealed that amid fierce fighting after the Taliban captured the northern city of Kunduz last year, US special forces advisers repeatedly asked their commanders how far they were allowed to go to help local troops retake the city.
They got no answer, according to witnesses interviewed for the review.
