US Troop Withdrawal Syria Advances as Large Convoy Crosses into Iraq

The US Troop Withdrawal Syria operation is accelerating. On Tuesday, a large convoy of U.S. military trucks left Syria’s Hasakah province and crossed into Iraq. This move marks another major step in Washington’s ongoing regional drawdown.

According to Syrian security sources, nearly 100 trucks were involved in the convoy. These trucks carried military equipment and vehicles used by the U.S.-led International Coalition. Notably, they departed from the Tal Baidar and Wazir’s Rest bases in northern Hasakah.

As a result, the U.S. presence at both sites has become almost non-existent. Officials on the ground confirmed that very few American personnel remain at either location.

this action forms part of a wider reduction plan. The U.S. began gradually reducing its military footprint in Syria during mid-spring. That plan continues to unfold with regular withdrawals.

Reuters had reported other American exits from bases across northeastern Syria. The continued movement confirms that the drawdown strategy is still active and consistent.

Meanwhile, estimates for the remaining U.S. forces in northern Syria vary. Some suggest as many as 1,400 troops remain. Others claim that number has dropped to around 500.

Clearly, the departure of another major convoy signals a stronger push to reduce ground operations. With that in mind, sources believe more exits will follow soon.

Additionally, these steps reflect U.S. efforts to reallocate forces and shift regional priorities. In recent months, the U.S. has focused more on Iraq’s stability and less on direct Syrian involvement.

US Troop Withdrawal Syria also has political implications. While some observers express concern, others view the reduction as a long-awaited step toward regional de-escalation.

Looking ahead, more details are expected in the coming weeks. For now, the U.S. military remains committed to scaling back its activities in Syria.

Ultimately, the US Troop Withdrawal Syria plan shows steady progress. With each convoy that crosses into Iraq, the mission edges closer to completion.
