The US military is scrambling to keep allies from running out of precision guided missiles to use against the Islamic State group, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Pentagon says it is working with its coalition allies to replenish stocks of the weapons, which are “pretty popular” against the terror group, US Air Forces Central Command, Lt. Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr. tells the paper.

They are also attempting to gauge future need for the missiles.
