(Task & Purpose) Nicholas Slayton - American forces pulled out of the "Conoco Fields" base in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria in May, after holding it for years amid repeated attacks. The end of the U.S. presence at Mission Support Site Euphrates came as part of a wider drawdown in Syria in May, with American troops withdrawing from multiple bases used in the fight against ISIS, according to a new quarterly report from the Department of Defense. Despite the drawdown from roughly 2,000 troops to 1,000, U.S. troops remain active in Syria, carrying out operations against ISIS in the country. In February 2018, the outpost was attacked by 500 pro-Assad regime forces, including members of the Russian mercenary firm the Wagner Group. U.S. forces held the outpost as American planes and helicopters poured bombs and rockets onto the attacking troops. No Americans were harmed and several hundred attackers were killed.2025-08-07 00:00:00Full Article
