WASHINGTON, June 10 (Xinhua) -- The United States will send up to 450 additional military personnel to train Iraqi forces combating Islamic State militants1, said the White House Wednesday.
President Barack Obama has authorized2 the deployment3 of up to 450 additional troops to train, advise, and assist Iraqi Security Forces at Taqaddum military base in Iraq's Anbar province, aiming to improve the capabilities4 and effectiveness of partners on the ground, the White House said in a statement.
The U.S. troops will "not serve in a combat role," the statement stressed. Currently, there are 3,100 American troops deployed5 in Iraq. The new deployment plan will bring the number of U.S. military personnel in Iraq to about 3,550.

These new advisors6 will work to build capacity of Iraqi forces, including local tribal7 fighters, to improve their ability to plan, lead, and conduct operations against IS in Anbar, the statement said.
The latest deployment plan will help complement8 the efforts of U.S. and coalition9 trainers at the four previously-established training sites in Al-Asad, Besmaya, Erbil, and Taji, where over 9, 000 Iraqi troops have already been trained, with an additional 3, 000 currently in training.
President Obama also approved a comprehensive approach to aid the Iraqi government's efforts to support the people and communities living in areas newly liberated10 from the Islamic State.
In addition, U.S. will continue monitoring those foreign fighters, including Europeans and some Americans, who have joined IS in Syria and Iraq, the statement said. "The President directed his national security team to intensify11 efforts with coalition partners to stem the flow of foreign fighters to and from Iraq and Syria."
