The United States has said it will send 400 troops and hundreds of support personnel to train moderate Syrian rebels fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

The Pentagon confirmed the planned deployment early on Friday, after Defense One website reported that Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia offered to host the training.

Getting rid of ISIL or Assad?

The US military estimated it could train more than 5,000 recruits in the first year. It said up to 15,000 would be needed to retake areas of eastern Syria controlled by ISIL.
