Controversy is still simmering over the US taking control of the Syrian Rmeilan airfield in the northeastern Syrian province of al-Hasakah, near the Turkish and Iraqi borders; although CENTCOM says the US is not controlling “any airfield in Syria,” satellite images and reports from the ground suggest the opposite.

Citing the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), Dave Majumdar, the Defense Editor of The National Interest, reports that American special operation forces have taken the Rmeilan airbase in northeastern Syria several weeks ago. According to SOHR, the base’s infrastructure is being expanded; US helicopters have been spotted using the base.

“The US forces currently operating at Rmeilan might include US Air Force Special Tactics Squadron operators, such as combat controllers, pararescue jumpers and special operations weathermen,” Majumdar suggests in his article.

>”Special tactics squadron airmen — particularly combat controllers — are often embedded with US Army Special Forces and US Navy SEAL units. The aforementioned helicopters could be from the US Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — which is an elite unit tasked specifically to support top tier special operations units,” the journalist underscores.
