Abstract
- The article looks at revised efforts by the U.S. Department of defense to deploy moderate Syrian rebels to fight the terrorist group known as the Islamic State, or ISIS. Changes to the initial plan include deploying larger numbers of fighters in safer areas and providing better intelligence and combat training. Other topics include local support for U.S.-backed fighters, U.S. air cover by drone aircraft, and U.S. screening of recruits.
