Some pretty accurate Int needed for that job.

Great PR/media ops coup for the regime and it's sponsors.

Maybe such Coy+/Batt- sized movements will now be cut down a notch to platoon+/Coy-

It leaves me with more questions than answers, such as:

Which regime sponsor(s) played a role in this directly/indirectly?

Are conditions in Syria ripe for the regime to conduct pseudo operations?

I could imagine conflict longevity combined with regime sponsors own conflict history and concurrent study of military history would allow sufficient time for the regime to develop a pseduo operations capability if local conditions permitted.

Or maybe it's a question of some members of the regime having their backs against the wall and left with no alternative but to win or die. That would certainly be a motivator towards developing competence and capability.

Just my speculation.
