By: Paige Williams, June 14, 2017
The U.S has moved its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System into southern Syria for the first time, according to a CNN report.
HIMARS is a truck-mounted rocket-launcher system capable of firing missiles to distances of up to 185 miles. Its movement to the Tanf area brings significant military power to an area recently in the spotlight due to several coalition strikes against pro-Syrian regime forces and the downing of a pro-regime drone by the United States on June 8.
