    US sends mechanized troops back into Syria

    US sends mechanized troops back into Syria

    They are there to support the SoF troops hunting ISIL.

    Bradley fighting vehicles have headed back into eastern Syria, the Pentagon announced Friday, a move that comes after a tense encounter with Russian forces left four U.S. troops lightly injured last month.

    The return of mechanized units also comes as the U.S. military deployed Sentinel radar and increased the frequency of fighter jet patrols over U.S. forces in that part of Syria, according to U.S. Central Command spokesman Navy Capt. Bill Urban.



    “These actions are a clear demonstration of U.S. resolve to defend Coalition forces in the [Eastern Syria Security Area], and to ensure that they are able to continue their Defeat-ISIS mission without interference,” Urban said in an emailed statement. “The Defense Department has previously deployed Bradleys to northeast Syria pursuant to these goals."

    There is a reason that Russia is using mercenaries in Syria.
    They are expendable without Russia being forced to react and that allows Russia to push the envelope.

    we have to make certain that the mercenaries know that they are not being paid enough for the risk.
