The New Syrian Army (Arabic: جيش سوريا الجديد, Jaysh Suriyah al-Jadid), abbreviated NSA or NSyA, was a group of Syrian Arab Army defectors established during the Syrian Civil War. Founded in November 2015, they sought to expel the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from eastern Syria. They claimed to receive training and advanced weaponry from the Authenticity and Development Front and CIA.
On 16 November 2015, the NSA was deployed at al-Tanf in southeastern Syria, near Iraq and Jordan, and carried out a raid, with or without USA aerial support. No further information was given.
