THREAD on possible lines of departure for the #Turkish operation:
1- The #TurkishArmy’s 20th Armored Brigade, as the principle maneuver unit, is likely to spearhead the push into northeast #Syria.

2- As #Ankara recently stepped up its efforts for a cross-border campaign, the 20th Armored has sent detachments to possible lines of departure (where an offensive unit transitions from movement to maneuver) in #Akçakale, located in the vicinity of #TelAbyad.
3- The concentration of forces suggests that Tel Abyad would make the primary line of contact, though, Turkish military planners can open-up many other jump-off points along the border at anytime.
