The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) issued on Sunday a nationwide call for military
reservists to return to active duty. According to Al-Masdar News, this is
the first time since 1973 that a campaign of this size has been launched by
the High Command.
According to the report, many of the reservists have had military training
in the past and do not need to be inducted in the Syrian Arab Army, which
makes their deployment to the front-lines much less stressful.
The call for the reservists comes just days after the Syrian Arab Army
announced the conclusion of their east Aleppo military operations after
nearly six weeks of fierce battles with the jihadist rebels.
The reservists will likely be deployed to the captured areas of eastern
Aleppo and western Damascus; this will allow for a large number of Syrian
Arab Army soldiers that participated in the aforementioned battles to be
redeployed to another volatile front.
