The United States has completed its full military withdrawal from Syria, handing over its last base to the Syrian Army after 11 years of presence. The only remaining U.S. military footprint will be a small security detail at the embassy in Damascus. This move finalizes the end of the formal U.S. military mission in the country, which began with the campaign against ISIS. Syrian forces have now entered and taken control of the vacated facilities.
