I was stating there are exceptions to the rule where the military can go above the government without government approval.


". federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbance."

It is an emergency exceptions. Generelly you need congressional or just presidential approval ( although us military has been dispatched outside the us before without congressional approval such as in Kosovo).
