The United States' top military officer, General Mark Milley, visited an army base in the Kurdish-held northeast of Syria on Saturday. The visit was controversial because Syrian officials view the deployment of US forces in SDF-held territory as "occupation." The general met US troops stationed in areas of war-torn Syria under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, and received updates on the counter-ISIS mission. He also inspected force protection measures and asserted repatriation efforts for the Al-Hol refugee camp.
