The long-awaited report from the commander of US forces in Iraq, General David Petraeus, will be delivered to Congress in Washington today.
The report will assess the 'troop surge' plan, which saw an extra 30,000 US soldiers deployed to Iraq earlier this year.
General Petraeus' report will consider how effective they have been and make recommendations about future troop levels.
Several reports last week suggested that the general was willing to accept a small reduction in troop numbers if the level of violence continued to stabilize.
