Carter: Coalition allies should send more trainers to Iraq

At the same time that Ash Carter called on coalition countries to send more "trainers" to Iraq he also said that the U.S. is "certainly open to" sending more "trainers" to Iraq. Any time forces are deployed there is a need for supporting elements. There has been a growing trend that each new deployment is a larger element than the previous one. Is this going to lead mission creep?

"Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's office issued a statement saying it welcomed foreign assistance but Iraq's government would need to approve any deployment of special operations forces anywhere in Iraq — a point Carter also acknowledged."
