The pan-Arab newspaper cited a source in the pro-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as saying that the US military at the base began drawing down in early April. Two columns consisting of 70 and 200 vehicles, respectively, were spotted leaving the base within the past 10 days and heading towards the city of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan. A US defense official told Sputnik on Wednesday that the Pentagon regularly adjusts its military forces according to operational requirements, in response to media reports suggesting that the United States has started withdrawing troops from a military base in the Deir ez-Zor province."The Department of Defense routinely reallocates forces based on operational needs and contingencies. These movements demonstrate the flexible nature of US global defense posture and US capability to deploy world-wide on short notice to meet evolving security threats. Due to operational security reasons, we have nothing additional to provide at this time," the official said in a statement.
