US Special Forces are to be sent to Uganda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to advise & assist national armed forces in combating LRA. They will embed with Ugandan and DRC troops in small teams &  provide real-time info on LRA movements and assess the current Ugandan army offensive.
Obama administration officials have been adamant that US forces will not engage LRA combatants and will not take active part in combat. The advisers will, however, respond in kind if attacked or fired upon by the LRA. Their deployment is expected to last for 'months', according to a US government spokesperson, and their mission is to help regional forces remove Kony from the battlefield, which could mean capturing or killing him.
