Yep, because that's what special forces do best, close protection.

Now say that over and over until you really believe it.

Or perhaps they're just there to learn some tricks from their cohorts in the Mali forces.

One of the best ways they protected the bombers in WWII was to go out ahead and break up the attacks forming up and to attack the bases.

So what, that is one of their mandates. It is very general statement when they say "Special Forces", there are several different groups and they do different jobs. And yes, "Close Protection" is a madated task of Canadian "Special Forces".
