The training program for rebels
in Syria
The Pentagon will deploy more than 400 U.S. military trainers and hundreds more
supporting personnel to four training sites in three countries as early as
March as part of a long-awaited plan to help rebel forces to
stabilize Syria.
In addition to the trainers, the U.S.military
expects to deploy hundreds of additional U.S. military personnel as so-called
enabling forces who will deploy alongside the trainers to provide security and
other support at the training sites, according to senior defense
officials.
Coalition partners are expected to contribute forces as well
for an effort that for now is envisioned to train about 5,400 rebel forces each
year for three years.
