US Army soldiers have fully withdrawn from the American military base in Baghdad, according to Al Jazeera, bringing to a close a military presence at the site that had lasted roughly two decades.
The withdrawal marks a significant milestone in the drawdown of the long-running US military footprint in Iraq, which followed the 2003 invasion and subsequent years of US military operations and advisory missions in the country.
Details on the specific number of troops involved in the final withdrawal, as well as what will become of the base facilities going forward, were not immediately specified in initial reporting.
The US military presence in Iraq has been gradually reduced over recent years as part of broader shifts in Washington's regional posture, following years of debate over the scope and purpose of the continued deployment.
The Baghdad base had served various functions during the US military's extended presence in the country, including logistical and advisory roles supporting Iraqi security forces.
No immediate comment from the Iraqi government or the US Department of Defense regarding the completed withdrawal was included in the available report.
