"Operation Marine Husky" is aimed at insurgents who have fled a security crackdown in and around Iraq's capital city.


U.S. commanders say nearly 4,000 American troops are involved, and air strikes and air-mobile infantry units have begun attacks in the Tigris River valley.

  

The Pentagon sent an additional 30,000 troops to Iraq this year in an effort to push fighters from big bases into neighborhood outposts.
