The United States is sending more Marines to
Iraq after an ISIS rocket killed a U.S. Marine and injured several
others, the U.S.-led coalition said Sunday.
The coalition said in a brief statement that a
detachment from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp
Lejeune, North Carolina, was being sent after "consultation with the
government of Iraq." The 26th MEU is working in the U.S. 5th Fleet area
of operations in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and
parts of the Indian Ocean.
The number of Marines being sent wasn't disclosed.
