The American base at al-Tanf is testament to the uneasy U.S. role in a key strategic region. The U.S. has not had diplomatic relations with Syria since 2012, after the start of the Syrian civil war. The bases it established over the past decade in the south and east operate under no Syrian legal authority. They fall under the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition operating in Iraq and Syria, but that coalition is soon being dismantled.

COL John McClellan The U S Military being in charge might render more positive results than a State Dpt Ambassador! Ambassadors were not always supportive of military operations into Laos and Cambodia!!
