The Pentagon said coalition forces and equipment had withdrawn from Erbil Air Base and declared the Iraq-based Operation Inherent Resolve concluded, transitioning to an Iraqi-led security effort under a bilateral relationship.
Why it matters
The withdrawal ends the U.S.-led coalition mission in Iraq and changes the U.S. military footprint and support structure in a country exposed to wider regional conflict.
