WI Belgians Helped The Americans In Mogadishu?

Yesterday I had watched a documentary telling of the actions of the Belgian Special Forces, and it seemed that they had a small group of soldiers in Somalia in 1993. Then I began to think...

What If the Americans knew of the Belgian presence in Somalia and asked them if they could be send in to help the besieged American soldiers after their Black Hawk had crashed? What If they could be send in to help get the Americans out?

Leave your thoughts here... Perhaps I can write a time line of this... What do YOU think?
 
My memory is this other special unit was involved in another operation that day & could not have responded fast enough. In any case what was needed was a large and well armed force capable of clearing and holding open several kilometers or streets against Adids militia. It was clear when the 2d aircraft went down that they could not operate effectively at low altitude. So, light forces operating from helicopters would risk a third or even a fourth aircraft destroyed.
