U.S. troops in Iraq provide medevac support for combat operations

U.S. forces in Iraq are operating regularly outside the wire to provide medical evacuation support for Kurdish troops fighting Islamic State militants, according to Kurdish and U.S. officials.

“Every time we go to a fight, they bring a helicopter for our guys to evacuate them,” Lahur Talabani, a Kurdish intelligence official, said Nov. 6, speaking at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad said Friday that the medevac missions are led by Iraqis and use Iraqi aircraft, but American troops accompany them to forward logistics posts and pickup sites near the frontline fighters.
