The Obama administration withdrew most U.S. troops from Iraq, with the remaining forces leaving by the end of 2011. In Afghanistan, it increased troop levels earlier in the term and later began planning a gradual withdrawal. So the best summary is that it withdrew most troops from Iraq and prepared for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
