For the next five years, the Americans in Ain al-Assad are contracting with Iraqis to provide them with food supplies

A security source in Anbar Governorate revealed today, Wednesday, that the US forces renewed the contract to supply its forces stationed at Ain al-Assad base with food supplies for the next five years.

The source said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency that “the American forces stationed at the Ain al-Assad air base in the al-Baghdadi district, west of Anbar, concluded a contract with Iraqi contractors to supply their forces with large quantities of food, especially meat and fish, noting that the contract is for a period of five years.”

He added, “The American forces had previously concluded a contract with Iraqi contractors to supply their forces with food supplies, but the contract expired a few days ago, which prompted the American forces to renew the contract again for another 5 years, indicating that those forces will remain in their positions inside the Ain al-Assad base until the end of 2029.”

He stated that “American soldiers from time to time roam the markets of Al-Baghdadi district to buy their needs of various goods, but the precautionary measures taken stressed the need to be cautious and careful of the movements of American forces and to remain inside their military barracks.”

He explained that “the Iraqi contractors who will supply the American forces with food supplies have undergone vetting processes with the assistance of security leaders.”
