List of United States military installations in Iraq

The United States Department of Defense has a large number of temporary military bases in Iraq, most a type of forward operating base (FOB).

Map of major U.S. military bases in Iraq and the number of soldiers stationed there (2007)

Depending on their size or utility, the installations were called: Camp, Forward Operating Base (FOB), Contingency Operating Base (COB), Contingency Operating Site (COS), Combat Outpost (COP), Patrol Base (PB), Outpost, Logistic Base (Log Base), Fire Base (FB), Convoy Support Center (CSC), Logistic Support Area (LSA) and Joint Security Station (JSS).

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 United States had 170,000 men and women in uniform stationed in 505 bases sprinkled throughout all the provinces of Iraq. Another 135,000 private military contractors were also working in Iraq.[1][2]

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