US to Send 1,500 Troops to Syria and Iraq

Multiple factions in the region have been conducting operations in an attempt to kick US troops out of the region

The US is set to send 1,500 soldiers to Syria and Iraq, ostensibly in order to join the fight against ISIS, CBS Philadelphia reports on 14 January.  
The soldiers will be sent from the New Jersey Army National Guard in its largest deployment of soldiers to the area since 2008...
  
The deployment of troops to Syria and Iraq falls under Operation Inherent Resolve, the US military campaign against the Islamic State across Iraq, Libya, and Syria, which calls for combating ISIS and defending US bases against resistance groups in the region.
