Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve   

U.S. and Turkish military forces conduct the third ground combined joint patrol inside the security mechanism area in northeast Syria, Oct. 4, 2019. The patrol allowed both militaries to observe first-hand progress on destroyed fortification that are a concern for Turkey. The security mechanism is intended to address Turkey's security concerns, maintain security in northeast Syria so Daesh cannot reemerge, and allow the Coalition to remain focused on achieving the enduring defeat of Daesh. The U.S. is currently executing concrete steps to ensure the border area in northeast Syria remains stable and secure. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Andrew Goedl)
