Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters that General Michael Garrett, the head of US Army Forces Command, would have 90 days to complete his review on the civilians killed, the compliance of the law of war and record keeping.
Earlier this month The New York Times reported that the US strike in Baghuz, Syria, killed up to 64 women and children during the battle against Islamic State.
