“U.S. officials hope that a strengthened American presence on the ground in Anbar will help the Iraqi military devise and carry out a counter-attack to retake the provincial capital Ramadi, which insurgents seized last month in an onslaught that further exposed the shortcomings of the Iraqi army. The U.S. advisers, who will be injected into the heart of one of the most hotly contested areas of the Islamic State campaign, will offer tactical advice to Iraqi officers on how to conduct their operations, the Pentagon said. Obama also ordered ‘the expedited delivery of essential equipment and materiel’ to Iraqi forces, including Kurdish peshmerga troops and Sunni fighters operating under Iraqi command.”
