More U.S. military troops are going to Iraq in the aftermath of an Islamic State rocket killing a Marine and seriously injuring others, the Pentagon has said.

The U.S. President had pledged numerous times there would be no “boots on the ground” in the fight against the Islamic State, the terror group also known as ISIS. But roughly 3,700 U.S. troops are now on the ground in Iraq. Earlier this month, a brigade from the 101st Airborne Division relieved a similar-sized brigade from the 82nd Airborne Division.

The Defense Secretary had previously announced the deployment of a special operations task force to northern Iraq to begin kill/capture missions against the Islamic State.
