The move comes just days after Obama said during the G7 Summit in Germany that the administration doesn't have a "complete" strategy surrounding how to defeat the terror army. Obama said the Pentagon hasn't presented him with a plan, which has been refuted by military officials.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is expected to comment on the troop deployment during the daily briefing.
