[22] During an interview with the commander of the group, Haji Ahmed Kurdi, in April 2014, he stated that the Kurdish Front is part of a "project for a democratic Syria".

It was set up by Kurdish, Arab, and Turkmen fighters, some of whom had defected from the Syrian Army, from the Raqqa, Aleppo, Latakia, Hama, and Homs governorates.

[18][23] From the outset, the group maintained ties with the Democratic Union Party (PYD), including military coordination with its armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG).

[20] The Kurdish Front joined the Revolutionary Military Council of Aleppo Governorate, led by Abdul Jabbar al-Oqaidi, on 7 March 2013.

[28] In early 2014, following several months of inactivity, the Kurdish Front re-emerged to collaborate with other Free Syrian Army groups and other rebel factions in attacks on ISIL.

During the fighting with ISIL, on 17 February, Alaa Ajabu, Kurdish Front general commander also known by his nom de guerre Abu Satif, was killed in action.
