The President has nearly unlimited power to deploy armed forces for any reason and at any time, however any protracted military action must be supported with supplemental funding by congress. Only Congress can declare war, so only military ordered by the President and supported with a declaration of war by Congress is lawful.

He is know as the commander and chief, so he dictates troop deployments/movements and where funds go.
