The U.S. operation there started with an attempt to deny Assad a land bridge to Iran, but he's beaten our proxies in the march to Deir-ez-Zor, so the whole base is just a terrorist training camp and a thorn in Syria's side. Note that we also occupy vast swaths of Syria on the other side of Eupratus river. However, we're not setting up a permanent base like Tanf in there, operating from Iraq bases. We do it because we pretend that those lands are under control of Kurds. But Tanf is officially occupied by U.S.
