A convoy of four armored Turkish Armed Forces vehicles in southeastern Şanlıurfa province crossed the border and met with a U.S. military convoy to join the joint land patrol.
Turkish and U.S. forces are set to conduct a land patrol in the Syrian town of Tal Abyad.
U.S. and Turkish troops conducted their first joint ground patrol for the zone on Sept. 9.
On Aug. 7, Turkish and U.S. military officials agreed to set up a safe zone in northern Syria and develop a peace corridor to facilitate the movement of displaced Syrians who want to return home. They also agreed to establish a joint operations centre.
Turkey has long championed the idea of terrorist-free safe zones in Syria. It has stressed ridding the area of the terrorist People's Protection Units (YPG), the Syrian branch of the PKK, as well as resettling Syrian migrants currently sheltered in Turkey.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
