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.
- Concentration of forces suggest mechanized formations (heavy armor, tactical armor and elite infantry) supported by land-based fire-support elements (Firtina 155mm howitzers predominantly and other elements)
