BAGHDAD - At the peak of the conflict in Iraq, the United States military had more than 150,000 troops deployed throughout the country. Since the start of Operation New Dawn, Sept. 1, 2010, U.S. forces have successfully transitioned 50 bases to Iraqi control, and are continuing to drawdown the number of troops present in the country.
“Our two countries signed a bi-lateral security agreement in 2008,” said the United States Forces—Iraq spokesman, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, in a recent interview with C-Span. “A requirement of that was that our forces transition completely to a civilian authority by the end of this year. We are completely on track to do just that.”
