Commander in Chief

As the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, yes, the President can direct troops where he wishes. If its for humanitarian relief and aid (like when the Ebola crisis happened in East Africa). If the President chooses to move the troops to a hostile place to fight for America then he has 90 days for Congress to approve that act. It is important to note that the President cannot actually declare war, Congress is the only one who can.
