No.

Damocles answers to National Command Authority, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, The Secretary of Defense, Strategic Missile Command, and the Chain of Command for a Missile Defense Wing (Experimental).

Snake Eaters are an Army unit under Special Operations Command. A Captain or Major (Leader of an Operation Detachment Alpha) is too junior to have the authority.

Damocles would render assistance to a limited degree and on a need to know basis to the ODA Commander. Things like Communications relay, contact with surviving forces, direct the ODA to a surviving DoD asset (common station). Damocles probably would not disclose his location (operational security) or off direct material support.

This all assumes the Damocles bunker has been penetrated and Damocles successfully reset taking him out of "game mode".

Damocles awareness of nuclear weapons tracks, strikes, misses, and duds are from surviving radar tracking and government and private seismograph researh as xonnexted to DarpaNet and AutoVon.
