The US troops at al-Tanf garrison had primarily been focused on anti-ISIS efforts as part of Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. The Pentagon announced in April 2025 that it would begin consolidating its presence in Syria following the territorial defeat of ISIS in 2019. Syria’s military forces are currently made up of an array of fighters from different backgrounds and with varying extremist views and affiliations, CNN has reported. But the Trump administration has made clear that it backs Al-Sharaa as Syria’s new leader, painting his extremist ties as a thing of the past and emphasizing his partnership in targeting ISIS in the region.
