This a series of articles covering the military aspects of the Civil War in Syria, published by the online-issue of the Truppendienst magazine (official magazine of the Austrian Ministry of Defence).

The latest update is including a summary of military-relevant developments in Syria for February, March and April 2017.

Also available is a new (PDF file!) ‘order of battle’ for all insurgent groups in Syria, plus the HTS. This is of particular importance considering the spate of rifts, defections, and establishments of new alliances in Idlib and western Aleppo governorates of the last two months.

As always, any corrections and commentary are most welcome.
