The UK government is planning to expand its military training role in Iraq and Turkey.
According to the Ministry of Defense, nearly 800 British forces are already deployed in the region.
They're training Iraqi soldiers in how to deal with roadside bombs.
Meanwhile, British soldiers are taking part in US-led efforts in Turkey to train insurgent groups fighting in Syria.
Official sources say no final decision has been made yet, but the army would continue to keep its contribution to the region under regular review.
