The U.S. military is concerned about two groups of pro-Syrian regime forces near a coalition training facility at Tanf, Syria, and has asked some pro-regime forces to leave the area. The facility trains local partner forces to combat ISIS in southeastern Syria. ???
The U.S. has warned the groups that they are inside and around a "deconfliction zone" established by the U.S. and Russia.
"We have increased our presence and our footprint and prepared for any threat that is presented by the pro-regime forces," Dillon said.
According to Dillon, there are "a couple hundred" U.S., coalition and partner forces at Tanf. He said the U.S. has also increased its presence, including combat power, in that area and that it continues to fly combat air patrols.
Do we need to be in Syria? Seriously?
