1 / 3

U.S. forces have formally withdrawn from Iraq, ending a military presence that began with the 2003 invasion and later resumed during the campaign against the Islamic State. The conflict and occupation left deep scars. More than 4,500 U.S. troops and over 115,000 Iraqis were killed, according to the report’s most conservative estimates. The final coalition personnel departed from Erbil after the end of Operation Inherent Resolve. U.S. and Iraqi officials say they intend to continue security cooperation as Iraq rebuilds after years of war and insurgency.
