Talil Air Base : ウィキペディア英語版
Ali Air Base

Imam Ali Air Base is a military airbase located near Nasiriyah, Iraq. It is also known as Tallil Air Base. Until December 2011, the base was used by United States Armed Forces. It is generally known as Camp Adder by the U.S. Army; the name "Ali Air Base" is used chiefly by the U.S. Air Force; the installation, however, is still commonly referred to as "Tallil". 〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/tallil.htm〕
The base occupies 30 square kilometers and is protected by 22 kilometers of security perimeter. The ancient Babylonian city of Ur, known as the birthplace of Abraham, is located within the security perimeter for Ali Base, and its ancient ziggurat is visible from nearly every area of the base.〔http://www.thelivingmoon.com/42stargate/03files/Looting_of_Iraqi_Treasures_06.html〕
==History==
Talil Air Base was an Iraqi Air Force base and served as the home of a unit of Soviet-built MiG fighter aircraft as well as several Mi-24D (Hind-D) helicopter gunships. The aircraft could be serviced and stored in fortified concrete aircraft hangars located at either end of the main runway. These aircraft shelters, sometimes referred to as "trapezoids" or "Yugos", were built by Yugoslavian contractors sometime prior to 1985, and according to the Gulf War Air Power Survey, there were a total of 36 aircraft shelters in 1991.〔http://www.bouwman.com/911/Operation/Iraq/Tallil-Airbase.html〕
It is possible that Sukhoi Su-20's may have been located at the base at some point during this period.
During the 1991 Gulf War, the base and its fortified aircraft shelters were heavily damaged by Coalition bombing missions. After the ground campaign began, elements of the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division took the base with little opposition. U.S. Combat Engineers then destroyed whatever serviceable aircraft and ordnance was missed during the earlier air campaign.〔http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/tallil_ii/tallil_ii_s03.htm〕
After the start of the Iraq War in 2003, Talil, now known as Ali Air Base, was used by the U.S. Air Force 332d Air Expeditionary Wing before they moved to Balad Air Base in January 2004. The 726th Maintenance Battalion (Massachusetts) arrived in May 2003 to operate as the Mayor cell for LSA (Logistics Support Area) Adder. The 407th Air Expeditionary Group, operating C-130 Hercules cargo airplanes, then utilized the base and trained more than 100 Iraqi Airmen on how to maintain and fly the C-130 type until February 2006. These trainees were then designated the Iraqi Air Force 23rd Squadron and relocated to Kirkuk Air Base.〔https://www.dvidshub.net/news/4286/give-and-take-teach-and-learn-building-iraqi-air-force#.VZKVehtVhBc〕
Units from various Coalition groups have used designated sections of Ali Air Base during the course of the occupation. Camp Terendak was used by Australian troops until the Australian Battlegroup withdrawal on June 1, 2008.〔http://www.cbsnews.com/news/australians-end-combat-role-in-iraq/〕 Romanian troops used Camp Dracula until the Romanian Army withdrew in the summer of 2009. 〔http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=54700〕 Camp Dracula was then used as the "Regional Center of Excellence for Civil Capacity". 〔http://www.airports-worldwide.com/iraq/ali_base_iraq.php〕〔http://majormarty.blogspot.com/p/contact.html〕
Ali Air Base was thereafter used primarily by U.S. forces, including elements of the U.S. Army, Air Force, the Navy, and the Marine Corps. Camp Adder, used by the Army, was also the home to three Provincial Reconstruction Teams for the provinces of Dhi Qar, Muthanna, and Maysan. The Dhi Qar team was led by Italian personnel, while the Muthanna and Maysan teams were headed by U.S. State Department officers. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Gulf Region District managed these and most other construction projects, from start to finish, for the PRT Iraq wide.
The base was nearly vacated of all US Forces on 16 December 2011. The 20th Engineer Brigade, serving as the COB Adder Mayor Cell and Theatre Engineer Brigade, led and managed the transition of the final US base in Iraq. The closure of this base and the later movement of the remaining US Forces to Kuwait were the final actions in Operation New Dawn, the successor mission to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
