The Pentagon commented on the closure of a number of bases in Iraq and Syria

The Western coalition led by the United States has established several military bases in Iraq and Syria, some of which have now been closed, reports RIA News Post press service of the Pentagon.

Training Iraqi Kurds

Throughout Syria and Iraq, the coalition has opened and closed several bases, as required by the operational environment, in order to provide effective support to the forces of our partners. The decision to create and close temporary bases is determined by the requirements of the operational situation and the course of the campaign,

Pentagon spokesman Adrian Rankin-Galloway told the agency.

Thus, he commented on media reports that some time ago, the Americans left the Al-Zakf base in southern Syria. As Izvestiya noted earlier, it was done within the framework of agreements with Russia in connection with plans to create de-escalation zones in the SAR.

Regarding de-escalation zones, I advise you to contact the State Department. The Department of Defense (USA) concentrates on the military defeat of the IG (the group is banned in the Russian Federation),

noted the press officer.

At the same time, he confirmed that the United States maintains its presence at the base of At-Tanf (in 70 kilometers south-west of the Az-Zakf base, near the border with Iraq and Jordan).

Coalition and partner forces continue to operate in At-Tanf. The coalition continues its mission to train partner forces in the border region as part of its campaign to defeat ISIS throughout Syria and Iraq. For more than a year, coalition forces in the At-Tanf region have continued to prepare "Mat" for (participation in) counter-terrorist operations against the IG,

said Rankin-Galloway.

“MaT” is the Syrian opposition group “Jaish Magawir al-Saura”, which is part of the “Syrian Free Army”.

In addition to the base in the At-Tanf area, the coalition (mostly American special forces) supports the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDS) in the provinces of Raqqah, Hasak and Deir ez-Zor.

Earlier, Moscow expressed concern that the Pentagon is building up its military presence in the southern regions of the ATS in violation of international law.

Sooner or later, US bases in Syria will not remain.
This is not the goal of Russia. And even the destruction of ISIS in Syria is also not the main goal.
These are too short-term tasks in this region compared to the permanent Russian bases in Syria.

As soon as the barmaley are controlled, the bases will not need the sashniki either.

Without a capable proxy, Americans are powerless

Moscow previously expressed concern the fact that the Pentagon is increasing its military presence in the southern regions of the SAR in violation of international law.

And now it’s just bombing ... "One" and closed up ...

bases for the staff will not be needed.

Only observatories will remain in different countries.

They have no bases in Syria .. so small cashiers sit and give out money and weapons.!
Nevertheless, the warning of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of Russia had an effect on the USA ... They will still answer for our general’s bastards! That scum ..

If only they didn’t lie to themselves. For several years they have already been “trashed”, but it only grew until the Russian VKS arrived. They close it where they consider their location to be unpromising and dangerous. And the bearded human resources are obviously depleted. From whom to prepare a shift destroyed?

[rpuropuu]

If any state opens a military base on sovereign territory, this is occupation and an aggressive step .
But when the United States opens this very base -

The decision to create and close temporary bases is determined by the requirements of the operational environment and the course of the campaign

(C) USA, Israel

The main thing is not to confuse

[rocket757]

And it was fun to watch when the Pentagon reported back to the congressional commission for grandmas spent on training and equipment of the so-called Syrian opposition !!!
So what??? grandmother bye-bye, fighters on the run or in ISIS!
When IMPORTANT, they supply weapons and dough ... what should they print more ???

[Vasyan1971]

But do they not trust the Iraqi Kurds in the best world American machines, or do they themselves prefer Kalash?

[APASUS]

To answer this question, you must first of all know the American financial specifics.
The fiscal year in the United States begins on October 1, and the next year a significant reduction in the allocation of funds to help the Syrian opposition was announced.
