The war-torn country has been embroiled in a bitter feud between the US and Russian forces in the eastern part of Syria, prompting more US troops to leave the area with more supplies.
"As the number of troops in Syria increases, we are strengthening our defenses," Capt. Bill Urban, a spokesman for the US Central Command said .
"We have also decided to install a radar system in the area to ensure the safety of US and allied forces, as well as to increase the number of fighter jets," he said.
A spokesman for Central Command said the United States did not want to create a new conflict with any country in the region, but that action was needed to protect coalition forces.
"There have been several clashes between US and Russian troops in the eastern part of Syria over the past few days. Recently, four soldiers were injured in an accident for which the Russian military is responsible," he said.
A senior US official said: "Half a dozen armored vehicles and hundreds of troops have been sent to the eastern part of the country to evacuate the Russian-occupied territories. We want to send a message to the Putin government to refrain from sabotage.
According to the report, there have been several clashes between the two countries' troops in the eastern part of Syria, but the number doubled in August this year.
The U.S. official says Russian helicopters are now patrolling the airspace in the east, while fighter jets are flying at low altitudes.
On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense has stated that the United States was aware of our military patrol and was told to make appropriate arrangements for the convoy to pass, but their army tried to stop it.
