Update to this story.

Via Washington Examiner:

Four more members of the U.S.-trained New Syrian Force have entered Syria since Wednesday, a Defense Department spokesman said Friday.

That brings the total number of New Syrian Force fighters in Syria to nine, up from the “four or five” that Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. Central Command, provided at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing this week.

Col. Pat Ryder, a spokesman for Central Command, said that in addition to the nine fighters now active in Syria, there are 11 U.S.-trained moderate fighters who are not yet in Syria.

Accounting for the rest of the initial class of 54, 14 are fighting in Syria but are with their U.S.-vetted parent opposition group, 18 are in Syria but their specific whereabouts are unknown, one is reportedly dead and one was taken captive by the al-Nusra Front.
