NATO Relocates All Personnel In Iraq To Europe

NATO said on 20 March that it has relocated all personnel from its mission in Iraq to Europe as a precautionary measure.

US Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich thanked the Republic of Iraq and allied partners for their support in ensuring the safe transfer of staff.

The alliance emphasised that NATO Mission Iraq is a non-combat advisory operation supporting Iraqi security forces.

Despite the relocation, NATO said the mission will continue under the coordination of Joint Force Command Naples.
