US troops poised for quick reaction to Iraq tumult
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iraqi forces are taking the lead security role amid a spike in violence in Iraq but the U.S. military has moved troops into the field for quick backup if the situation worsens, a U.S. commander said on Friday.
Army Col. Jeffrey Snow said the U.S. military had moved some troops from bases into the field to form a rapid-reaction force, but they have not been called in yet to help Iraqi security forces.
