In this Saturday, August 13, 2016 file photo, soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the Iraqi Special Operations Forces wear fake beards after playing the part of Islamic State militants during a training exercise to prepare for the operation to re-take Mosul from IS, in Baghdad, Iraq. The disparate groups that make up Iraq's security forces are converging on the city of Mosul, lining up for a battle on the historic plains of northern Iraq that is likely to be decisive in the war against the Islamic State group.
