CRG enables strategic air operations at Qayyarah West
Oil fires burn along the eastern horizon near Qayyarah West Airfield, Iraq, Nov. 14, 2016. The airfield at Qayyarah West was recaptured from Da’esh by Iraqi forces in July 2016, and has been refurbished by Coalition engineers to allow the re-commencement of air operations. Qayyarah Airfield is now a vital logistical hub, opening an air corridor in support of the battle to liberate Mosul as well as operations throughout northern Iraq.
