Dozens of fighters trained by U.S.-led coalition reportedly enter Syria

Dozens of fighters trained by U.S.-led coalition reportedly enter Syria


(CNN)At slightest 75 contenders prepared by U.S., British and Turkish powers have entered northern Syria, an observing gathering said.

The warriors traversed from Turkey on Friday and Saturday and are currently situated in regions north of the city of Aleppo, said the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Their landing comes not long after U.S. authorities recognized that the Pentagon's system to prepare and prepare moderate Syrian radicals to help battle ISIS had missed the mark concerning its unique points.

A top U.S. general told the Senate a week ago that of the a large number of warriors the U.S. military should train in the first year, just four or five stayed set up on the front line.

In light of the stark deficiencies, the Pentagon is expected to carry out a major overhaul of the training program for the revolutionaries.

A review of the effort has been underway since an initial group of some 54 rebels put into northern Syria this summer came under attack and are no longer a working fighting force. 

That attack demonstrated that units have to be bigger so the forces can ensure themselves, officials said.

The fighters who entered Syria in recent days have been supplied with four-wheel-drive vehicles mounted with automatic rifles and ammo, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Warplanes from a U.S.-drove coalition are completing a bombing campaign against ISIS positions in Syria and Iraq. But Western countries haven't sent ground troops to fight against the militant group.
