ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – According to a U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) statement, coalition forces have reinforced their security presence in Western Kurdistan (Rojava – northern Syria), with M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle crews carrying out perimeter security operations at a coalition site on Dec. 14, 2024.
The statement emphasized that the International Coalition continues to preserve security and stability within the joint operations area, employing proper defensive measures to maintain readiness against potential threats targeting coalition forces and partners attempting to destabilize the region.
In a parallel diplomatic development, a top U.S. delegation visited Syria in December 2024, where officials discussed critical matters regarding political transition and regional stability.
The United States reiterated its commitment to working with relevant parties to advance comprehensive political solutions in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254, highlighting support for the Syrian people's aspirations toward a secure and stable future.
The International Coalition, led by the United States, has upheld a military presence in Syria since 2014 as part of Operation Inherent Resolve to combat ISIS.
UN Security Council Resolution 2254, adopted in December 2015, outlines the roadmap for a peace process in Syria, urging a Syrian-led political transition, including constitutional reform and UN-supervised elections.
The resolution remains a keystone of international diplomatic attempts to resolve the Syrian conflict, which began in 2011.
The Bradley Fighting Vehicle, specifically the M2A3 variant, signifies a vital component of coalition ground forces' capabilities in Syria, providing both offensive and defensive abilities while conducting security operations in the region.
