Jalibah Southeast Air Base
Jalibah Southeast Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Thi Qar Governorate of Iraq. It was captured by Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.
==Iraqi Air Force base==
Jalibah Southeast Airbase is located in southern Iraq approximately 370 kilometers south of Baghdad, and about 65 kilometers south of Nasiriyah. It is an unoccupied airbase is served by a main runway measuring 9,800 feet and an alternate runway/taxiway measuring 8,500 feet. Jalibah occupies a 21 square kilometer site and is protected by a 19 kilometers security perimeter. According to the "Gulf War Air Power Survey", there were 24 hardened aircraft shelters at Jalibah Southeast in 1991. At each end of the main runway are hardened aircraft shelters known as "trapezoids" or "Yugos" which were built by Yugoslavian contractors some time prior to 1985.
The base was heavily attacked by Coalition air power during Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, and seized by U.S. Army ground forces (2nd Brigade, 24th Infantry Division) on February 27, 1991, in the Battle for Jalibah Airfield. It was abandoned by the Iraqi Air Force after the cease fire in late February. General Chuck Horner tasked USAF Red Horse Civil Engineers to deny the air base in southeastern Iraq to prevent future use by returning Iraqi forces, and the work had to be completed before the signing of a cease fire agreement. Working with EOD personnel, two teams completed the job within four days.
