The United States is withdrawing all of its military forces from Syria

The U.S. military has begun a complete withdrawal of its troops from Syria. Officials say the process will take one to two months, and forces have already vacated a major base called Al-Tanf.

As the withdrawal proceeds, the U.S. has been conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets and transferring thousands of captured ISIS fighters from Syria to detention facilities in Iraq. The move has shifted alliances on the ground and raised questions about the future security of the region.
