Gen. Mark Milley said that although the military's footprint will remain small, it's important to keep watch over the Islamic State in Syria to meet the objective of an enduring defeat of ISIS.
EXCLUSIVE: New Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley tells @martharaddatz there will be"less than a thousand" troops remaining in Syria following Pres. Trump's call to withdraw:"The footprint will be small, but the objective will remain the same." https://t.co/XkPhluPyCg pic.twitter.com/LA3nkpdupP President Donald Trump announced plans to withdraw nearly all American troops in Kurdish-controlled region in Syria in October, drawing bipartisan condemnation in Congress.
"We'll see in the days ahead, in the weeks ahead, in the months ahead if he's able to piece together his organization or not," Milley said on"This Week" Sunday."We'll pay close attention to him and where opportunities arise, we'll go after him as well." "In order for that mission to be successful, the government of Afghanistan, the Afghan security forces, are going to have to be able to sustain their own internal security to prevent terrorists from using their territory to attack other countries, especially the United States," Milley said."That effort's ongoing. It's been ongoing for 18 consecutive years."
