Trained Syrian forces to be deployed at key towns in northern Syria
Trained by Turkish police, as many as 450 Syrian security forces will head for north Syrian towns that are being liberated in Operation Euphrates Shield, conducted by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), to provide and maintain local security. The Turkey-trained Syrian forces will be deployed at key towns in the north of Syria, with the first group heading for Jarablus, which was liberated by the TSK and Free Syrian Army (FSA) last August. These forces will act as the guarantor of security in the region, with Turkey aiming to train more than 5,000 police officers as a part of the project.
