The TTR explains how a threat actor—either a country or insurgent group—fights and operates to include its doctrine, force structure, weapons and equipment, and
warfighting functions. A TTR identifies where similar conditions of the actor are present in the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) and other US Army
training materials for easy access and use across Army Learning Model venues. This TTR describes the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its proxies’ strategy and goals, key political and military leadership, and major alliances. The report also discusses the organizational size and structure of the SAA and its subordinate organizations
of the Syrian Air Force and the Syrian Navy. The TTR examines SAA strengths and weaknesses, current unit dispositions, tactics and techniques, and defensive and
offensive military strategies.

The US Army training community can use the Syria TTR to gain insight into SAA methods and operations. Exercise and
curricula developers can incorporate tactics and techniques into training events and educational experiences to provide a realistic portrayal of a threat in complex
operational environments.
