Tallil Airbase is
located approximately 310 kilometers Southeast of
Baghdad and 20 kilometers Southwest of the city of An
Nasiriyah.
Tallil was originally
commandeered so the coalition could provide lethal
combat air power to the war effort and to provide
theater airlift and combat search and rescue support
from a forward location.
