US Army reservist reflects on 2020 Al-Asad Airbase attack in Iraq

While the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021, Iraq still hosts about 2,500 American troops as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, a mission to root out the terrorist group ISIS.

It was January 2020 and Iran-backed militias launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward the U.S. and coalition troops stationed at Al-Asad. An American drone captured video of the attack.
