The US is reportedly set to send 13,000 troops to Iraq despite its claims of complete military withdrawal from the country.
The vice president of the local council of Iraq's Salahuddin province says the troops, along with their vehicles, will be stationed at the Speicher airfield in Tikrit.
The official added that there are dozens of military advisors already on the ground.
Washington claims it is keeping advisors in Iraq to monitor the US operations against ISIL there.
This comes as the US had earlier pledged Not to send further troops to Iraq after its troop pullout from the country in 20-11.
Still, reports from Iraq reveal the US has kept 8000 troops there, mostly in the nothern city of Erbil.
