Fox News is reporting that US troops are on the border of Syria with visuals of an AAV rumbling in the desert in the background. I know we have two MEU's operating in the area but if anyone knows which one got the call and how many forces are on the ground I'd appreciate it. And no, if its an OPSEC issue keep it to yourself but I doubt it if we're seeing at least portions of the Ground Combat Element operating on Jordanian side of the Syrian border.
Disregard. 150 Special Operations personnel. The images were file photos. Still interested in seeing if an MEU gets a call. Sounds like the Rangers are about to heel stomp some throats in the Middle East...again. 150 troops? Yeah thats gotta be Rangers....or maybe MARSOC?
According to this report it's " The force includes communications specialists, logistics experts, planners, trainers and headquarters staff members," http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2012/10/mil-121010-rianovosti01.htm
