“As part of our support to the Iraqi government following the recent advance of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists into Iraq, the UK has sent personnel into Iraq to help out with logistics and liaison with Iraqi authorities. These are not combat troops and have not been involved in fighting, or supporting fighting, and are not there on a permanent basis.” (MOD, 2018).
