Thailand's military Supreme Commander Somdhat Attanand approved the departure of 451 Thai troops by September 20 and said that the United States would shoulder the cost of the exercise.

"The Supreme Commander has approved the pull-out of the task force after the Thai troops finish their one-year mission," the military said in a statement.

The defence ministry and task force chief could still order a withdrawal or a move to another neighbouring country if the security situation deteriorated, it said, adding that an emergency contingency plan was already in place.
