Hollywood movie plot , of course these guys are spies , planted in

Its not like they have Patriot Missiles or something like S-300 they were trained on

They are planted to get into the ranks and pass on knowledge of inside

May be all spies or 2% of them are informants , you just need 1-2 Snitches to get job done

Correction to the Record: Status of New Syrian Forces in Syria

Tampa, Fla. - U.S. Central Command has no indication that any New Syrian Forces fighters have defected to Al Nusra Front, contrary to several press and social media reports. Additionally, all Coalition-issued weapons and equipment are under the positive control of NSF fighters.

Approximately 70 graduates of the Coalition's Syria Train and Equip Program successfully returned to Syria over the weekend and are currently operating there as New Syrian Forces.

While the NSF do not operate under the command and control of the Coalition, we will continue to support and enable these anti-ISIL forces as part of the campaign to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL.
