As Commander-in-Chief under the US Constitution, it is possible, but unlikely, that the President would directly lead military forces. The only time that this has occurred was in 1794 during the Whiskey Rebellion (1791-1794), when George Washington led state militias to quell the civilian uprising in Pennsylvania. This army never engaged in actual combat under Washington.

It is an act of congress passed after the Vietnam War, over President Nixon's veto, and of dubious constitutionality, which seeks to define and limit the powers of the president of the United States to command the armed forces. The most important provision is that if the U.S. armed forces go into combat the president must get a resolution from congress authorizing the mission. If the resolution is not passed then the forces must be withdrawn from the combat within sixty days. Since it was passed no president has ever acknowledged its validity but, nonetheless, have complied with it.
