I’m picking up that the trick is in the deployment order, that only via chain of command originating at the Commander in Chief can a deployment order to foreign soil be properly executed. I have not as yet seen anyone point to a specific authority for that position.

It must be that way, otherwise the military could go haring off on its own to attack foregin nations or groups. Wouldn't want that would we?
