to ramp up training of iraqi forces, to capitalize on what it says is the successful training of almost 9,000 iraqi troops so far. >> there actually are some locations near anbar near the other training base of anbar near al asad base, strained by coalition forces that have received about benefit of advice and assistance of u.s. military personnel. where we have seen the iraqi security forces be effective in driving out i.s.i.l. >> reporter: the new u.s. troops will be deployed to takatam air base south of habanea, after they fled ramadi in the face of i.s.i.l. forces last month. pentagon says the bulk will be american security forces protecting a much smaller number of advisors at the air base. their mission is not to train iraqi troops in basic combat skills like at the four other

training locations in iraq but rather to school their leaders on how to turn the rag tag remnants of the iraqi forces routed in ramadi into battle-ready troops who can retake the city. the american advisors will be helping iraq revamp rearm remotivate and reinvigorate the iraqi troops who abandoned ramadien in the face of assault by a much smaller i.s.i.l. force. an audit of its 8th army division to see how many never returned to rearmd estimated to ramadi estimated to be several thousand. new troops news body armor and in some cases new commanders. say the u.s. is advising from the rear instead of leading from the front. >> we will send 400 or so more to iraq, none of which is accompanied by a strategy. none of which is accompanied by

forward air controllers so we will continue to see 75% of the combat missions flown return to base without having discharged their weapons since we have no one on the ground to identify targets. this is incrementalism at its best or worst depending on how you describe it. >> reporter: the other part of the administration's strategy is to reach out and recruit fighters from the sunni tribes of anbar who have been reluctant to join iraqi government forces in the past though the details on how they will be convinced to join the fight will be vague. the u.s. believes a much needed victory in ramadi will pave the way of retaking the i.s.i.l. strong hold of mosul u.s. hoped would be this summer but now looks like a year away. up to two months to get the u.s. base up and running where it

can train troops at another location in iraq. while this is up for constant review one thing not up for debate is putting combat troops on the ground. jonathan. >> keith broomfield's death occurred outside kobani he is the only american to die in combat against i.s.i.l. a social media account thrirchgd linked to a kurdish militia dubbed him a martyr. suicide bomber in egyptian town of luxuryor, the site was not damaged but the attack is a

mckinney officer had responded to two suicide calls including one where a man shot himself in front of his system. he at first refused the pool party call. >> he felt and bleeft it believed it was his duty to respond. with all that happened that day he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. >> but there was no excuse for his response says the attorney for the girl in the video. >> there are appropriate ways to handle stress and officer casebowl's response was in no way affected. >> she does not believe there was any wrongdoing on her part. she's 15, so we have to remember that and has the mindset of a 17-year-old. no she doesn't think there was much she could have done to avoid the situation.

>> he detained a white woman not seen on the video still the department found his behavior unacceptable. >> the action he of casebowl as seen on the video are indefensible. he came on the call under control and as the video shows was out of control during the incident. >> he did accept casebowl's resignation but he will keep his pension and benefits. demanding the officer be charged with assault. >> fair investigation in this process. these children were very manyized. we need the city of mckinney to really stand up for justice for these teens. >> so let's bring in chris mahondy, a board certified where consolidation. chris you've seen the video

heard from the officer's attorney saying he was stressed. is that a valid or perhaps an understandable excuse here? >> i don't like the word excuse but it certainly makes it understandable how something like this can happen. we place extraordinary demands upon officers every day throughout america. and the idea that they should be shifting gears so quickly to respond from one call to the next, they do it remarkably well most of the time. and unfortunately there are events like this which are not excusable but understandable where you've got that backpack of stress building up. and unfortunately the wrong incident for this guy to respond to it gets exted emptied out at the wrong moment. it is okay for the officer to raise their hands and say you know i really shouldn't go to the next call, but since the

level had gotten elevated, he really felt like he should go there. even though i'm not over those last couple of calls i've been to i haven't done with that motion stuff. unfortunately in his case it worked out terribly for his career. more importantly it hurt this young lady, this teenager and is a loser for everybody involved. >> you talk about the backpack of stress that officers carry. there in mckinney it was clear the officer was out of control based improperly, but officers involved with too much, may overvent when they are faced with people who are not really behaving that badly? >> it is a concern for all

police agencies in that area and elsewhere. to make sure they have an extraordinary ability to deal with stress on the job. but reality kicks in and there's so much that officers deal with day in and day out that unfortunately these events do happen. and what agencies provide for their officers are psychologists, they try to teach them within their culture that it's okay to raise their hand and stand down. but you do have events like this, that still happen on occasion. and it's part of the difficulty in police work that these things still happen. >> and obviously there is a lot of responsibility put on them. but it is a job they chose to protect and serve the public. and so what type of training do these officers get to try oharchl and cope withtohandle and cope with these situations they face? >> many police agencies offer free counseling for their officers in order to seek out

better ways of managing their stress they encourage them to stay physically fit encourage them to talk about what's bothering them. but the reality is there are occasions where you could have -- you don't know what call you're going oget. you couldto get you have to completely shift your perspective for the next call and a lot of times there are these unrealistic demands between what the job requires and what reality provides. i don't know that we will ever solve that problem but officers need to know that they look out for their partners they look out for themselves and be self-aware, it is okay among the supervision and leadership that if they don't feel they're completely right no matter what's coming next, if they need a time out they should be able to take a time out. again there are these quandaries that make it difficult for them to do so.
