U.S. armored vehicles and infantry troops arrive in eastern Syria to defend oil facilities from falling into the hands of ISIS, U.S. military says.
U.S. armored vehicles and infantry troops have arrived in eastern Syria as part of a new deployment to defend oil facilities from falling into the hands of the Islamic State, according to the U.S. military, a move that reflects the Trump administration's back-and-forth Syria policy.
In effect, the hurried withdrawal and subsequent decision to protect oil facilities from ISIS will result in the swap of different units as lightly armed special operations units are replaced by conventional units with more firepower. Hundreds of U.S. military personnel have been located near those oil fields since 2017 when they were retaken from ISIS by America’s Kurdish partners. The new forces will reinforce the troops already there and provide more firepower than what they currently have.
There are already close to 200 U.S. troops at that location meaning that at least 700 American service members will continue to be located in Syria despite the president's declaration that the U.S. is"getting out."
