Around 50 U.S. soldiers have arrived in Turkey to use the newly-deployed High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadist group.
Deployed near the Turkish Armed Forces’ (TSK) defense missile system in the Almalıtepe region of the southeastern province of Gaziantep, HIMARS batteries have a 92-kilometer range and quick mobility capabilities.
On Sept. 3, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara said U.S. forces hit ISIL targets overnight near Turkey’s border with Syria using HIMARS.
