2003年以來，超過4500名美軍在伊拉克死亡；Iraq Body Count估計，死亡伊拉克平民超過20萬人。20多年後，美軍軍車離開了基地，但伊拉克真正面對的問題才剛開始：這一次，它能不能在沒有大批美軍駐紮的情況下，同時壓住ISIS、約束民兵，又避免重新成為美國與伊朗角力的戰場。

The United States has completed the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq, ending a 23-year military presence that began with the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The final US forces left mainly from an airbase in Erbil on September 30, formally concluding the latest 12-year mission against ISIS. The withdrawal follows the group’s loss of its territorial strongholds in Iraq in 2017, although ISIS continues to operate through clandestine networks.

The departure does not end US-Iraq security ties. Washington is expected to continue targeted training and intelligence support, while the two countries maintain cooperation on counterterrorism and information exchange.

.The United States announced it had completed its withdrawal from Iraq on Wednesday, more than 20 years after invading the country to topple Saddam Hussein, in a move that was celebrated by the Iraqi government and the Pentagon – as well as Iran and its allies, who claim years of pressure forced the American departure.

.At its height, the US had 170,000 troops in Iraq before the Obama administration withdrew the forces from the country in 2011. About 5,000 troops were deployed to Iraq in 2014 at the request of the Iraqi government, which sought US assistance in the fight against ISIS. Since December 2021, the US has had roughly 2,500 troops in Iraq in an advise and assist capacity, working to train Iraqi military to fight ISIS.
