While most think the US military is out of the Iraq business, a recent DoD article serves as a reminder that there are still US troops there:

Air Force Lt. Col. Chris Lachance is one of a handful of American airmen working to ensure that Iraqi Air force units at Al Sahra Airfield in Tikrit are getting the level of training they need to protect their skies.

The Iraqis are flying T-6s, the same aircraft the US Air Force and Navy use for pilot training.  The article says 3 Airmen are advising “more than 800 civilian contracted instructors and fresh Iraqi airmen.”
