US joins Jordan in military wargames to combat IS

The Iraqi government has assembled forces for a counter offensive on the city of Ramadi which is now under the control of so-called 'Islamic State.'

In the region, they are not the only ones working on a plan to fight the Islamists.

In neighbouring Jordan, 18 countries including the US have been staging drills and other military manoeuvres to practice how to recapture an international border.
