Instead of clearing an area and moving on, the extra troops will allow a core of peronnel (combination Iraqi and US) behind to keep it clean. The number of troops was chosen to result in a 50:1 ratio of population to troops. Currently once an area is cleared troops move on leaving a vacuum for the insurgents to stream back into.
