DoD denies US military building a new ‘base’ in Syria

‘If it’s been officially denied, then it’s probably true’– Pilger’s law

Unfortunately the follow-ups in the briefing room were weak and didn’t ask the next logical question more plainly: if not a “base” is there an outpost or smaller fortification being constructed for the mobilization of U.S. troops and personnel? If video and on-the-ground reports are to be believed, something is going on there.

From Howard Altman at The WarZone:

A half dozen years after abandoning Kobani, U.S. forces are reportedly building a base in this northern Syrian city on the Turkish border that has been riven by strife between Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed forces. This all comes as a new Syrian government is trying to establish control over the country after ousting Bashar al-Assad.

Several videos and images have emerged on social media claiming to show U.S. troops and equipment heading toward Kobani, reportedly to build a new international coalition base.

According to SOHR sources, this comes as a part of US forces’ efforts to boost their bases and establish a new military base in Ain Al-Arab in light of the growing security and military tension in that region.

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported that “International Coalition” forces brought a convoy of logistic reinforcements including premade chambers, surveillance cameras, cement blocks, fuel tanks and digging machineries towards Ain Al-Arab (Kobani).

Ain Al-Arab is the Syrian name for this city. When the US and their Kurdish allies ethnically cleansed the area- the immediately began rewriting reality in order to kurdify the areas.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the digging and drilling will start tomorrow and more military reinforcements such as soldiers, weapons, armoured vehicles, radars and anti-aircraft weapons will be brought.

Altman reports that “the claimed U.S. build-up in Kobani comes as fighting continues between the SDF and Turkish-backed forces in northern Syria” since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in early December. “Video emerged on social media claiming the SDF downed a Turkish Bayraktar TB-2 drone over the Qarqozak Bridge, south of Kobani. It is claimed to be the third such shootdown in a month.”

“Turkish-backed forces have reportedly escalated attacks on the Tishreen Dam as well as the Qara Quzak Bridge, both key to logistics in the area. Kurdish journalist Rohat Baran emphasized that these sites are not just vital for the local population but also hold broader regional importance in terms of trade, energy, and military operations,” Altman wrote

Meanwhile the U.S. and its coalition partners, which include French forces, have been actively fighting ISIS in central and eastern Syria, he said. There are now 2,000 U.S. military in the country, a number that suddenly increased with no real explanation beyond the 900 that were assumed there just a month ago.

RS reached out to the Pentagon press office on Thursday and asked if the military “is sending reinforcements and is building a new facility in Kobani” and if so, were the troop numbers beyond the 2,000 being reported in the country today. We were told they were currently looking into the reports.
