Al Asad Air Base

Al-Asad Airbase, previously Qadisiyah Airbase (IATA: IQA, ICAO: ORAA) is an Iraqi airbase located in Anbar governorate. It was the second-largest US military airbase in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Until January 2010, it was the home of the II Marine Expeditionary Force/Multinational Force West. Other major tenants have included the 3rd ID's 4th IBCT, 82nd Airborne Division Advise & Assist Brigade, 332nd Medical Brigade, 321st Sustainment Brigade, Vertical Onboard Delivery Detachment-1 (VOD-1), VAQ-141, Navy Customs Battalion Juliet, elements of the Iraqi Army's 7th Division, and the United States Air Force (USAF). On 26 December 2018, President Donald Trump and his wife Melania visited the soldiers stationed at the base. On 23 November 2019, Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen visited the troops ahead of Thanksgiving. On 8 January 2020, the air base came under an Iranian ballistic missile attack in retaliation for the killing of Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike a few days earlier. Following the end of the military mission of the US-led 'Global Coalition against Daesh', the withdrawal of US troops from Al-Asad base began in September 2025. T
