President Barack Obama has ordered the deployment of up to 450 more U.S. troops and establishment of a new training base in Iraq's Anbar province to help rebuild Iraqi forces in preparation for a battle to retake territory lost to ISIS. The plan to expand the 3,100-strong U.S. contingent of trainers and advisers in Iraq marks an adjustment in strategy for Obama, who has faced mounting pressure to do more to blunt the momentum of insurgents. Obama decided on the new troop deployment in response to a request from Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the White House said.
