Iraqi state TV (click here) described columns of tanks and other military vehicles entering al-Habbaniyah military camp.
The Iraqi government called for help from the Iran-backed militias after the military was routed on Sunday.
About 500 people died in the city - only 70 miles (112km) west of Baghdad.
Shia forces at Habbaniya, about 20km (12 miles) from Ramadi, were "now on standby," the head of the Anbar provincial council, Sabah Karhout, was quoted by Reuters as saying.
In a statement, the council said about 3,000 Shia fighters had arrived in Anbar to take part in "the liberation of all Ramadi areas in which IS militants took positions"....
There are no American forces and there won't be either! The Shi'ites are already organizing to push back against Daesh.
This is why the Iraq invasion has failed. The Iraqi army could never hold the land they would take. This is more of the same. There is nothing new here and this is exactly why a nation called Iraq will never stand. The three provinces at least are smaller and possibly sovereign enough to be maintained by local forces. But, to have the Iraqi army respond in the south only to loss land in the north will continue until the "Wise Men of the USA Congress" stop using violence and war as a political dialogue.
People will die and there will be instability until the USA ends it's presence in the region. Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Egypt are able to defend themselves. This is not all that. Turkey doesn't even care. The only bozos that care are the US Republicans with blood on their hands.
