Steve Warren told reporters on Friday. "What we’re doing now is, in the process of building the force that will go to Mosul eventually," Warren said. "We think it will be roughly ten brigades with anywhere from about 2,000 sometimes 3,000, it depends on the brigade how many people are in the brigade." Warren noted the coalition has trained about 20,000 Iraqi security forces, including police and Sunni tribal fighters, but wanted to provide additional training even to those they had already been trained. © AP PHOTO/ MAYA ALLERUZZO Battle for Mosul: Iraqi Gov't Ready to Liberate City From Daesh "This is going to be many months before we see actual operations for Mosul begin," Warren explained, adding that the main focus now is on training and building combat power. Last June, Daesh took hold of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and also managed to seize the largest dam in Iraq, which is now at risk of collapsing and causing a major humanitarian catastrophe. Daesh is a designated terrorist group that is outlawed in the United States and Russia, among many other countries. The US-led international coalition against Daesh has been launching airstrikes against the terror group’s positions in Iraq since August 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new york kevin Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 THAT'S GOOD LET'S TELL EVERY ONE WHAT WE ARE DOING Exactly Sandfly. Haven't the PC fecal splatters in DC learned yet, on the job, that it should be kept beyond top secret details like when you will attack and when you will pull out of an AO. That such things should be kept so secret that Hilarious won't even know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
