Camp Liberty Iraq

Camp Liberty Iraq

Camp Victory North, also known as Camp Liberty Iraq or Camp al-Tahreer, is located northeast of Baghdad International Airport.

This base has the largest PX in Iraq plus a large "mall" with over seventy Iraqi national vendors.

Burger King, KFC and other fast food establishments can be found at this PX as well. Generally the lines are long but they seem to move fairly fast.

One disadvantage to the PX is it is a favorite target of insurgents. They have hit close to the PX and have injuried and killed several people.

This gives the soldiers an opportunity to purchase authentic Iraqi-made goods as gifts and souvenirs for themselves and their family and friends without having to leave the security of the base.

This base is divided into three parts--Division LSA (Life Support Area), West Life Support Area, and Camp Blackjack.

Each of these three divisions has its own dining facility, MWR facility (MWR stands for Morale Recreation and Welfare Building), chapel, mini-PX, gym, internet cafe, and barber shop. Each also has its own volleyball and basketball courts.

Every dining facility in Iraq that I have been in has wide screen TVs playing a variety of shows, DVD and so on.

There are rows of white trailers for living quarters. They each have two bedroom/living spaces with a bathroom in between them.

Each soldier/civilian has eighty square feet plus they share the bathroom. I have lived in this kind of housing since I was in Baqubah four years ago and it is so much better than the regular billeting.

Fast food here includes Popeye's chicken, Taco Bell, Subway, Pizza Hut, and Burger King so it is a great place to be.

There is a weekly rugby match, along with other sporting matches. Soldiers cleared the fields but it was well worth it once they could play team sports. These games are open to people from all of the different cultures on base.

The detention facility at Camp Liberty Iraq holds detainees who are scheduled to soon be freed. It consists of tents with air conditioning and is enclosed with a barbed wire fence.
