“It is very difficult for them to tell the Iraqis that we are working with you, but we consider you as a threat to the United States,” he said.
US military officials told ABC News that the Pentagon plans to send two extra troops to Iraq to help Iraqi forces fight for the return of Mosul. It is estimated that there are about 200 to 300 soldiers.
“Additional elements from the 82nd Airborne Division, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, will go to Iraq on a temporary mission to provide additional support and advice to Iraqi forces,” said Col. Joseph Sacroka, a coalition spokesman, adding that “these are not adding new combat capability as much as they are Provide more advice and assistance to our Iraqi partners. ”
The unit from the 82nd Airborne Division currently has 1,700 troops based in Iraq and Kuwait, helping to advise and support Iraqi forces.
