Division 30

Division 30 was the name given to a CIA-sponsored group of Syrian rebels formed in 2015 during the Syrian Civil War to specifically fight ISIL in Syria.

In August 2015 the first group of Dvision 30 rebels set up a headquarters in Syria, which was attacked and captured by the al-Nusra front, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria who kidnapped a number of their members. Later on, following the al-Nusra attack, Assad government warplanes bombed the headquarters causing most remaining members to flee to join other rebel groups.

In September 2015, a second group of Division 30 rebels with 12 Toyota pick-up trucks, medium machine guns and ammunition crossed the Syrian-Turkish border and ended up giving up much of their weaponry and ammunition to the Al-Nusra Front in order to secure passage farther into Syria.

By the end of September 2015, General Lloyd Austin, head of US Central Command, said the remaining members of Division 30 were limited in number, "We're talking four or five". Division 30's current whereabouts are unknown after they allegedly stopped receiving funding and supplies from the U.S.

The remaining fighter joined the New Syrian Forces., while the remaining Division 30 remnants denied that they joined the Syrian Democratic Forces.
