FILE - In this Sunday, Jan. 24, 2016 file photo, American and Spanish trainers use live ammunition in training exercises at Basmaya base, 40 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, Iraq. U.S. and Iraqi officials cast Ramadi as proof that coalition training efforts have paid off and the Iraqi military has improved since its catastrophic collapse in the summer of 2014. But analysts and former US trainers say the fight that wrested the city from the Islamic State group highlights the military’s lingering shortcomings and isn’t a model for trying to retake the bigger prize, the IS-held city of Mosul.
