And I'm not exactly sure the exact size of those forces. How well armed are they? They're pretty well-armed. They've been doing some things in recent years to kind of prepare for something like this. So, for example, they established a night fighting unit that's really been giving the Syrian Arab Army a lot of trouble.

So, fighters, I believe, they're equipped with night vision and that sort of equipment. They also have their own drone manufacturing capabilities, which is really impressive. They also have done some soft things. And what I mean by soft things is things like training. How can you... coordinate between these different rebel bodies? How do we professionalize our force?

Coordination that's going on between HTS and SDF is very – very tactical in nature and very designed around making safe routes for evacuation and stuff like that. For example, when HTS took Aleppo, they created a safe zone for the SDF to begin evacuating their fighters from Aleppo.

In fact, one of the things HTS did was they tried to prevent some of the more, I'll say, thuggish and more militantly Salafi jihadi factions backed by Turkey from interfering with the SDF's evacuation.
