The US has agreed to send more than 200 additional troops to Iraq along with Apache helicopters to aid in the fight against Islamic State.
The new force will consist mostly of Army special operators, US defence officials said.
The remaining troops will be made up of trainers, security forces and maintenance teams for the Apaches, the officials told the AP news agency.
The new Army special operators will serve primarily in advise and assist teams embedded with Iraqi forces.
