Defense Secretary Ash Carter today revealed that the U.S. will
openly begin "direct action on the ground" against ISIS forces in Iraq
and Syria.
In his testimony before the Senate Armed
Services committee on Tuesday, Carter said "we won't hold back from
supporting capable partners in opportunistic attacks against ISIL...or
conducting such mission directly, whether by strikes from the air or
direct action on the ground."
Cater pointed to last week's rescue operation with Kurdish forces in northern Iraq to free hostages held by ISIS.
