US Army completes withdrawal from Baghdad base after two decades

US Army soldiers have completed a full withdrawal from a US military base in Baghdad, ending a presence at that location that lasted about two decades.

The US Army has fully withdrawn its soldiers from a United States military base in Baghdad, ending a presence at that specific location that spanned roughly two decades.

The move was reported by international media, which noted that US forces have vacated the site after nearly 20 years. Officials' statements or detailed timelines for the withdrawal were not included in the initial report.

It was not indicated whether other US personnel remain at different facilities in Iraq or how the vacated base will be managed going forward. The removal of soldiers from the Baghdad installation marks a change in the footprint of US forces at that particular site.

Regional observers, Iraqi authorities and international partners will likely be watching for further information about the strategic and logistical implications of the withdrawal. Additional reporting will be required to clarify whether this represents a broader redeployment, a consolidation of forces, or a localized adjustment to US operations in Iraq.
