List of United States military installations in Iraq

The United States Department of Defense formerly had a number of military bases in Iraq, most of them a type of forward operating base (FOB). The US and Iraq agreed in 2024 that the US would withdraw remaining troops by 2026. This was completed on September 30, 2026.

History Depending on their size or utility, the installations were called: camp, forward operating bases (FOBs), contingency operating bases (COBs), contingency operating sites (COSs), combat outposts (COPs), patrol base (PBs), logistic bases (log bases), fire bases (FBs), convoy support centers (CSCs), logistic support areas (LSAs), and joint security stations (JSSs). Near the end of Occupation of Iraq (2003–2011), the last several camps and forward operating bases were changed to contingency operating bases and sites.

At the height of the occupation, the US had 170,000 personnel in uniform stationed in 505 bases throughout all provinces of Iraq. Another 135,000 private military contractors were also working in Iraq.

Due to International military intervention against ISIL, personnel returned to old bases and new bases were created. Control of many U.S.-operated bases was transferred to the Iraqi government during the 2020–2021 U.S. troop withdrawal.

At the request of the Iraqi government in January 2024, the US and Iraq began negotiations to end the US military presence in Iraq. The withdrawal began in September 2024, continued in September 2025, and was completed by September 2026.
