US Completes Troop Withdrawal from Iraq, Moves Operation Inherent Resolve Headquarters to Jordan
The United States has withdrawn its troops from Iraq and relocated the headquarters of Operation Inherent Resolve to Jordan, according to JFeed. The move ends the mission’s presence on Iraqi soil and reshapes the US military footprint in the region.
The United States has completed its troop withdrawal from Iraq and moved the headquarters of Operation Inherent Resolve to Jordan, JFeed reported on Sunday.
The report said the shift ends the mission’s presence inside Iraq, where US forces had been operating as part of the coalition effort under the Operation Inherent Resolve banner. With the headquarters now in Jordan, the command structure is being repositioned away from Iraqi territory.
For Iraq, the departure of US troops changes the on-the-ground security relationship that has existed under the operation, and removes a visible foreign military presence that had long been a point of political contention. Iraqi forces will now face any remaining militant threats without US units based inside the country under this mission.
For Washington, moving the headquarters to Jordan preserves a regional hub for Operation Inherent Resolve while reducing direct exposure inside Iraq. Jordan has hosted US forces and serves as a key partner for American military activity in the Middle East.
How this reconfiguration affects local security and regional dynamics will become clearer over time. Signals to watch include any new agreements on security cooperation between Washington and Baghdad, the level of coalition activity directed from Jordan, and any changes in militant or militia operations that seek to test Iraqi forces in the absence of US troops on their soil.
