The Obama Administration reported to Congress, in it’s semi-annual report, that 15,475 US combat troops are deployed in the war against terror, whatever it’s called these days, according to USAToday, as quoted in the Stars & Stripes<\/a>. The largest contingent is in Afghanistan where 10,500 are deployed – that’s about 1400 more than six months ago;<\/p>\n

Also, 3,550 troops remain in Iraq, and small teams are already in northern Syria to train and advise local opposition troops. The report says up to 50 new personnel “may be deployed in Syria as circumstances warrant.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. deployed 350 personnel to Turkey in July in order to support air strikes from Incerlik Air Force Base, and added 375 more in November.<\/p>\n

U.S. troops are also conducting counter-terrorism operations in the African nations of Niger (350 troops) and Cameroon (300 troops). Since June, the U.S. has also conducted counterterrorism operations in Somalia, Yemen, Djibouti and Libya<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are also operations being conducted in the Philippines, but I don’t see numbers for that deployment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
