General: US has no policy to protect Syrian force after training
Syrian opposition forces being trained to fight Islamic State militants will need support from the US-led coalition when they return home, but the Obama administration has yet to decide what protection to offer, a top US commander said on Thursday.
Army General Lloyd Austin, the head of US Central Command, told a Senate hearing the Syrian opposition force being trained by the coalition would need help with logistics, air strikes and intelligence but said the administration had not agreed on a policy about providing protection once the troops returned home.
