It is speculation whether we will pull out of Incirlik or not (and Debka is notoriously suspect in its speculation), but we are building up airfields in the Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria.
Rmelian, near the Iraqi and Turkish borders in the extreme NE was the first reported. The existing airfield near Kobane has had its runway extended, so it can handle our largest planes. Recently captured Tabqa Airbase is close to Raqqa, and will provide excellent support to the Raqqa offensive. Tabqa is a nice big defensible piece of land, with a good bit of development already done. You really could make a big base out of it.
The Kurdish Regional Government in Iraq is also talking more seriously about independence from Iraq, and could really benefit from American Security guarantees - so they might offer a location to develop as well.
Everybody needs to have an alternative to Incirlik, if Erdogan goes full Caliph, after this Sunday’s referendum in Turkey. He is not a reliable ally.
True all.
