Stars and Stripes | 2,500 US troops expected to remain in Iraq despite end of US combat mission
About 2,500 U.S. troops will remain in Iraq despite Thursday's formal end of the U.S. combat mission there, chief Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.
The U.S. and Iraq on Thursday announced the combat mission's end following the final meeting of its military-technical coalition, which was tasked with discussing and implementing an agreement in July by both nations to transition the U.S. military's role in Iraq.
