Description
An Iraqi built reinforced concrete bunker at Tallil Air Base. Tallil Air Base had not been used by the Iraqis since 1991, when it was badly damaged during Operation Desert Storm. In March 2003, it was taken over by coalition forces, and used for a number of different purposes, including accommodation and transit camp for troops, quartermaster and supply operations, as well as enemy prisoner of war detention camps.
