The Pentagon announced Friday a consolidation of US forces in Syria under Operation Inherent Resolve.
This strategic shift will reduce troop numbers to below 1,000 in the coming months.
Spokesman Sean Parnell cited the significant success against ISIS, including their territorial defeat in 2019.
The consolidation reflects progress in degrading the terror group’s regional and global operational capabilities.
This conditions-based process aligns with a commitment to a more streamlined US presence in the region.
