October 13, 2015 - During the late summer 2016 Turkish military intervention in the Syrian Civil War in the Manbij Region, U.S. Special Operations Forces embedded themselves with SDF forces to successfully deter Turkish-backed jihadi rebels from attacking SDF forces south of the Sajur river. Further, the United States Department of Defense confirmed that U.S. Special Operation Forces were flying U.S. flags in the town of Tell Abyad in the Euphrates Region to deter Turkish harassment shelling or attacks against SDF forces there.

What Lies Behind the Syrian Flag Raised at the “Semalka” Border Crossing in SDF-Controlled Territory? - The Syrian Observer
September 30, 2025 - Two days ago, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria raised the Syrian national flag over the Semalka/Fishkhabour border crossing with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq—a move that sparked wide-ranging debate over its implications and whether it signals a more serious and effective resumption of negotiations between Damascus and the Autonomous Administration or the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

September 12, 2019 - Out of all iterations I have made, this version of the flag sticks the most to the original, mainly: the banana yellow background, the greyish-bluish colour, white, red, and a map of Syria on it. ... I've added an AK-47 to it, because let's face it: this is an alliance of armed forces. I don't really see it as a state or territory flag... at least not yet. In fact I was really confused as to what the original flag was representing when I first saw it. In my opinion the AK-47 nicely represents the types of weapons the SDF fights with...
