Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq is a US-led coalition army base situated at a distance of around 5km in the airfields of Baghdad International Airport. The base has been used since the beginning of the Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War or Operation Iraqi Freedom, in March 2003. Al Faw Palace – located on the base – is the army’s headquarters.

Camp Victory is one of the main and largest bases for US Army troops outside the US. It can handle about 14,000 troops. In September 2007, a rocket attack by the insurgents on Camp Victory claimed the lives of two personnel and injured another 38 people.
