نفّذ مجاهدو مرابطة سرية مقر اللواء 19 بالحشد الشعبي التابع لحركة أنصار الله الأوفياء، ممارسة أمنية ضمن قاطع المسؤولية في عكاشات غربي الأنبار على الحدود العراقية–السورية... وتضمنت الممارسة انتشاراً ميدانياً وتنفيذ عدد من الواجبات الأمنية والتعبوية
another Brigade 19 deployment, identifiable equipment movement or a corroborating border-security account by September 1 would support sustained readiness activity; contrary geolocation or a unit denial by that date would weaken it—any of these moves this file.
