British troops complete Basra repositioning

Back


The 4 Rifles Battlegroup has today, Monday 3 September 2007, repositioned from Basra Palace to the Contingency Operating Base at Basra Air Station. The move is the result of a planned operation which sees responsibility for the palace pass to Iraqi Security Forces. British troops return to the Contingency Operating Base following the handover of Basra Palace to the Iraqi palace protection force [Picture: Cpl Follows] This activity completes part of the agreed transition process developed in conjunction with the Iraqi Government and indicates the increasing willingness and capability of the Iraqi Security Forces to take responsibility for security in Basra. UK forces will retain security responsibility for Basra province until it is transferred to Provincial Iraqi Control.
