Die USA verlegen mehr und mehr Bodentruppen in den Irak. Abgesehen von den ganzen Sondereinheiten steht ja schon mindestens ein Bataillon Marineinfanterie im Irak und jetzt werden weitere 2300 Marineinfanteristen dorthin verlegt welche als robuste Unterstützung der Sondereinheiten agieren sollen.

Zitat:The final contingent of Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force—Crisis Response—Central Command 16.2 departed Camp Pendleton, California, last week en route to the region to begin a nine-month deployment to directly and indirectly bolster Iraqi forces in their fight against ISIS.
Members of 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines will be the ground combat element of the task force, with air support from squadrons of the 2nd and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wings. They’ll be led by the 5th Marine Regiment with Combat Logistics Battalion 5 lending logistical support.
The task force includes about 2,300 Marines.
