The US Army has deployed its troops to al-Kasf district in western Anbar, well-informed sources told the Baghdad Post on Saturday

The United States said in 2016 it was sending 600 more soldiers to Iraq as Baghdad declared a wide-scale offensive to retake the city of Mosul, ISIS’s largest stronghold in Iraq.

On February 19, US-backed Iraqi security forces launched a wide-scale military operation to oust ISIS terrorists from Mosul city.
