The first team of American military advisers has arrived in Iraq to help the country tackle the threat from Islamist insurgents.
About 40 of the 300 expected to be deployed to the Middle Eastern country were described by the Pentagon as having "started their mission".
Admiral John Kirby told reporters that two "initial assessment teams" have been deployed in Baghdad.
He said their role would be to assess the Iraqi army and not to engage in attacks on militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), who have seized several towns north of Baghdad.
