So what is happening?
Gen Milley said the issue ±¤Áø±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç
was being "worked" with the Iraqis, but gave no details.

BBC defence correspondent Jonathan ¼­¿ï´ë¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç
Beale said he had been told by a coalition source that the letter was to let the Iraqis know the US was moving troops out of the Green Zone to provide protection elsewhere and did not mean a withdrawal.

This has been backed up by other ¿ø·ëÀÌ»ç
coalition sources, telling separate reporters that the move was to "thin out" the Baghdad personnel.

What are the US and other Á¦ÀϾÆÄí¾Æ Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»=Á¦ÀϾÆÄí¾Æ Á¤¼ö±â·»Å»Ãßõ
forces doing in Iraq?
There are just over 5,000 US troops ½ÃÈïÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç
in Iraq, part of the Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve, which was set up in 2014 to tackle the Islamic State group after it had captured a large swathe of Syria and Iraq.

There are about a dozen primary Á߰躻µ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç
member countries, and scores more providing non-combat support.

The main focus of the task force is to train and equip Iraqi forces.

On Sunday, Iraqi MPs passed a non-binding È«Äá¸íǰ³²¼ºÀÇ·ù=È«Äá¸íǰµµ¸Å È«Äá¸íǰ³²¼ºÀÇ·ù È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
resolution calling for foreign troops to leave in the wake of Soleimani's assassination.

President Trump then threatened Á¦ºù±â·»Å»
severe sanctions against Iraq if US troops left.

"We have a very extraordinarily expensive airbase that's there. It cost billions of dollars to build. We're not leaving unless they pay us back for it," he told reporters.
