U.S. likely to send as many as 1,000 more ground troops to Syria, officials say

The new contingent, which would expand the American presence ahead of the offensive in Raqqa, would not initially play a combat role, but instead would be advising Kurdish and Arab fighters on the ground. The plan would mark a continued departure from the Obama administration, which resisted committing more ground troops to Syria.
