Syrian Arab Coalition

The Syrian Arab Coalition is an alliance of Syrian Arab militias established during the Syrian Civil War. Founded in 2015, they seek to expel the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from the Ar-Raqqah Governorate and other areas in Syria. It joined the Syrian Democratic Forces in October 2015.

With an alleged strength of around 4.000 fighters, the Arab groups within the alliance will be committed to push down towards ISIS de facto capital Ar-Raqqah, while staying east of the Euphrates river. Some of the remaining U.S. Pentagon trained rebels will also be part of the new forces, tasked with "calling in airstrikes against ISIS and recruiting moderate rebels."
