US and Turkish troops conducted their first ever joint ground patrol within what Turkey has called the 'safe zone' that runs along the Syria-Turkish border and extends into the northeast

US and Turkish troops conducted their first ever joint ground patrol within what Turkey has called the"safe zone" that runs along the Syria-Turkish border and extends into the northeast.

The operation is aimed at creating a buffer zone that will keep US-backed Kurdish militia -- the People's Protection Units -- away from Turkey's border. Ankara regards the YPG as a terrorist group affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party , which has fought the Turkish state for more than three decades.

— U.S European Command September 8, 2019 The patrol, Caggins said, will allow the coalition and America's Syrian Democratic Forces partners to"remain focused on achieving the enduring defeat of Daesh ."Read MoreJoint land and air patrols will continue over the next few days, Turkey's Defense Ministry said, according to state-run Anadolu news agency.

— T.C. Millî Savunma Bakanlığı September 8, 2019 The joint patrol follows earlier aerial surveillance flights and the establishment of a joint operations center.While the US has not said how deep the zone will go into Syria, but an SDF commander told CNN Friday that it will average five kilometers deep and extend as far out as 12 kilometers in a few places.
