US to send 'fewer than 50' special ops forces to Syria
US special forces will help coordinate local ground forces in Syria
Washington - Arab Today
The United States will deploy "fewer than 50" special operations forces to northern Syria in an advisory role, US officials said Friday, as major powers met in Vienna to find a political solution to the conflict.
President Barack Obama "has authorized a small complement -- fewer than 50 -- of US Special Operations Forces to deploy to northern Syria, where they will help coordinate local ground forces and coalition efforts to counter ISIL," said a senior administration official, referring to the Islamic State group.
