NBC’s Richard Engel is at an airfield just south of Mosul. He spoke exclusively with the major general in charge of the American effort."
ENGEL: "How’s it going?"
VOLESKY: "It’s going well."
ENGEL: "In his first interview since the offensive to push ISIS out of Mosul began, major general Gary Volseky said his troops are providing air support and heavy artillery but not leading this charge."
VOLESKY: "The Iraqis have the momentum, they know it. They want to get there as quickly as they can."
