    Trump grants authority to Pentagon to allow US troops to increase in Iraq


    Editorial date: 2017/4/27


    US President Donald Trump has given the military the authority to change a confusing system to determine troop levels in Iraq and Syria. Critics have said it allowed the White House to control every small and large battle decision and ultimately led to the lack of clarity on the real numbers of US troops.
    The Pentagon on Wednesday confirmed the measure and said there had been no change to US troop levels so far.
    She also stressed that the US strategy in Iraq and Syria is still focused on supporting local forces fighting a sympathetic, a method that led to avoid the need for a large US ground force.
    However, a change in troop levels is another sign of the big powers that Trump seems to be comfortable with to give their military commanders to make decisions on battlefields and could allow for more rapid increases in troop numbers in the future.
    The system, known as the level of troop management, was developed in Iraq and Syria during the administration of President Barack Obama as a way to extend control over the US military.
    Obama has stepped up periods of restrictions to allow an increase in the number of troops in Iraq and Syria as the campaign against Dahesh develops.
    However, the numbers did not reflect the extent of US commitment on the ground, as military commanders often found unorthodox ways of circumventing restrictions, including by temporarily bringing in troops or hiring more contractors.
    Official troop levels of 5262 in Iraq and 503 in Syria are believed to be less than 2,000 than the actual number of US troops in both countries.
    Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said Trump had given Defense Secretary James Matisse authority to set troop levels in Iraq and Syria from now on.
    "We will conduct a review to ensure that the figures we provide to Congress and the public accurately reflect the facts on the ground," she said in a statement released on Wednesday by Buzz News News.
    Supporters of regime change within the US military also say shifting the Pentagon's decision-making power from the White House would allow for more flexibility in dealing with sudden developments on the battlefield.
    The change of the system of determining the level of forces with another more transparent task is difficult, especially because of the political sensitivities in Iraq towards the US forces, but the Iraqi and US governments have pointed to the need for continued US military presence, has not yet decided the size of such presence.
    Experts say much information about the arrival or departure of US troops, especially if announced in advance, could give the enemy information.
