The US military announced that it has started training dozens of Syrian opposition fighters to battle the ISIS militant group as part of a revamped program that aims to avoid mistakes that doomed its first training effort last year.
Training for the first group of recruits includes how to identify targets for US-led coalition airstrikes to allow coalition aircraft to better strike the ISIS from the air.
Instead of trying to pull entire units from the fight for training, as the Pentagon sought to do last year, the new program will take small groups of fighters from the front-lines for training.
"If it works we'll do more. And if it doesn't, we'll shift again," spokesman for the US-led coalition US Army Colonel Steve Warren said.
