Fewer than 1,000 US troops will stay in Syria but the objective of defeating ISIS remains in tact despite the smaller US military presence, US chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says
"There will be less than a thousand for sure. And probably in the 500ish frame. Maybe six but it's in that area. But we're not going to go into specific numbers because we're still going through the analysis right now," Milley said in a pre-taped interview with ABC's"This Week" that aired Sunday.
CNN previously reported that weeks after President Donald Trump ordered troops out of northern Syria, publicly declaring he was taking"control" of the oil and sending troops and armored carriers to protect it from ISIS, US commanders had lacked clarity on the most basic aspects of their mission, including how and when troops can fire their weapons and what, exactly, that mission was.
