It was captured by Coalition forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Overview Tall Afar Air Base was a primary air base for the Iraqi Air Force. At each end of the main 10,000 runway are a dozen hardened aircraft shelters known as Trapezoids or Yugos which were built by Yugoslavian contractors some time prior to 1985 with multiple runways and taxiways, patterned after their Russian counterparts. The base was heavily attacked by Coalition airpower during Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003, and seized by Coalition ground forces. Efforts are underway to repair the nearly obsolete water pumping system that provides water for over 325,000 citizens of Northern Iraq. In the interim, soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault have contracted 32 trucks to carry over 10,000 liters of water every day to villages that the water system is unable to reach. 101st AAD civil affairs and engineering soldiers are working to fix the water system, which draws its water supply directly from the Freedom formerly Saddam Lake in Northern Iraq.
