Shafaq News/ The International Coalition reported on Saturday that a special force affiliated with it had left Iraq after completing its mission in this country.

In a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, the coalition said that the coalition’s OTH force recently completed its mission in Iraq and returned to its original base in Buring camp in Kuwait.

“The OTH force typically consists of two CH-47 Chinook helicopters and an infantry company that are on 24-hour standby to be on wheels at short notice to complete missions,” the statement said.

According to the coalition, this force responds when needed in the joint operations area to support field personnel, recover operations, conduct air attacks, and assist in comprehensive force protection missions.

The withdrawal of this force comes after Baghdad and Washington recently reached an agreement to withdraw US combat forces from Iraq by the end of this year.
