Another base for the United States military forces in the northern part of Kuwait is Camp Virginia. This base is mainly under the control of the Air Support Operations Centre. By the name of what controls the camp, you should get the clue that this is for jet planes and other such planes used for combat. Although typically an air base, this is also home for about 10, 000 soldiers serving in the United States Army.

Aircrafts found in this base include the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bombers, the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons and the  McDonnel Douglas F-15 Eagles. These aircraft support the soldiers who are at war with extremist Iraqis in Iraq.

150 more bluesuiters are housed in Camp Virginia aside from the 10,000 Army’s V Corps’ finest found in the desert. Those fine guys on the ground are often supported by these bluesuiters, members of ASOC, by flying their aircrafts high above ground, ready to crash bombs when assistance is called for to ward off the enemy. These aircrafts hovering above ground, waiting for the signal from those on ground, was the edge that the American military had over the Iraqi extremist military.

In Camp Virginia, the 27^th MC was what provided movement management and transit visibility to those soldiers and equipment for air combat that belonged to COSCOM and Corps in the time of the Staging, Reception and the Onward Movement. All movement into Iraq and from it were controlled by the Battalion that stood prepared for anything on Iraqi Border when ground war was at its earliest beginnings.

Serious business was done in Camp Virginia as this is different from all the other camps that had recreation for soldiers who missed home and hoped to have a bit of respite from the psychologies that war brought upon their shoulders.

Camp Spearhead, found in Shuaiba, Kuwait, was heavily in use during the Operation Iraqi Freedom. It is north of Camp Patriot which is also a military base of the United States. Those served at Camp Spearhead include military forces from the superpower countries, United Kingdom and the United States.

As home to these tired and homesick soldiers, the camp is furnished with tents with air conditioners. They also are often supplied fresh water safe for drinking there. Aside from that, they have an unlimited supply of water used for baths and showers. Means of recreation for soldiers can also be found there. There are gyms equipped with machineries for various exercise and workout purposes, recreation rooms with board games and other such fun games and even rooms with nightly movies shown frequently.

Shiaba is a port and therefore the base, like Camp Patriot, is located near the sea. The port sports 20 berths with a total combined length of 4068 meters and with depths that range from about 10 to 14 meters. These berths are for the exclusive use of container vessels. This port is especially used for the exporting oil and petrochemicals from the country as Kuwait is known for its abundance in the supply of such oils and petroleum variants.

Before this became known as Camp Spearhead, this was first a port built in 1967 under the name Ash Shuaybah. The city of Shuaiba is where Kuwait’s refining and manufacturing complex can be found. This complex is what receives the industrial imports of petrochemicals as well as it sees to the exports of petrochemicals, coke and sulphur.

Despite how busy it is with the export of such gases, oils and petroleum variants, this base has served as home to many soldiers who are tired and homesick from warring with oppositions in the country. This is where they come to heal themselves when work in defending the oppressed Iraqis is done for the day.

Situated in the South western coast of the country of Kuwait is the Kuwait Navy Base that’s otherwise known as Camp Patriot. During the time of Operation Enduring freedom—around the beginning of the 2st century—the base was home to more than 3,000 soldiers of the American-led Coalition that were fighting in Iraq.

Camp Patriot boasts of a pier that is quite lengthy at 1,400 feet. Light vessels and cargo vessels dock here for loading and unloading. This pier has seen countless cargo containers with equipment used for logistics and perhaps even for the war unloading their equipment and supplies for the United States of America’s army use. The United States Marines and British Marines were supported well here by the arms and machineries that were brought in during the Operation Iraqi Freedom.

There were more than 3,000 joint-service members stationed at Camp Patriot around the year 2003. Today, the number of those stationed in this military camp or base has grown. Back in 2003, many of those stationed here were supporting the Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom.

Nowadays, Camp patriot serves as home base to many soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen and coast guardsmen who continue to work there in support of the Operation Iraqi Freedom. If you aren’t too familiar with this operation done in Iraq, that this is the one mission that sought to free the oppressed lesser Iraqis from the reign of Saddam Hussein might ring a bell. Aside from this, the mission or operation also sought to bring down the weapons of mass destruction said to be in Iraqi soil.

Camp Patriot had seen the construction of the System of Elevated Causeway of U.S. Navy or the ELCAS (M). Today the ELCAS (M) serves as an expeditionary pier that bridges the surf zone and thus provides a bridge between the beach and cargo vessels.

In the north of the city of Kuwait is found a warehouse complex that goes by the name Camp Doha. This was used by the army of the United States towards the end of the Gulf War. To this day, the camp is still in use. This was established during the Desert Thunder I mission. The forces that are found in Doha now focus on the tactical operations done jointly with the military in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

The ones responsible for Camp Doha’s smooth running are the ARCENT (Fwd) staff. It is their job to provide administrative and logistics support to those in the camp. Support contract for Camp Doha is handled by CSA or the Combat Support Associates. In their end, they provide supplies, the maintenance of equipments, training of forces against each other, range control and even the security of the camp. All equipment of the battalions based in Camp Doha is taken care of by the CSA.

Prepositioned sets of equipments in Camp Doha that are utilized for contingency operations are maintained and given apt service by the ADA Task Force. They have PATRIOT systems there that are also an asset in Kuwait against those who launch or throw ballistic missile threats among those in the camp. The camp may be in the line of ballistic missile threats most days but there are capable people there that can counter these threats measure for measure. These countermeasures against such threats are maintained well by those in the ADA Task Force.

Facilities in Camp Doha continue to grow. This camp is right next to a water desalination plant that’s quite huge and that of an electrical plant. This is what makes the camp great for machineries including the PATRIOT systems that would need to be run by electricity and an abundance of water.

The military forces of the United States had made full use of Camp Buehring as their base camp during their war in Iraq. This camp, situated in Kuwait, has seen American soldiers coming to and from the Iraqi border which is just 15 miles away from the camp. Troops known to have set food of this camp include the Army Apache, Black Hawk and even the Chinook Helicopters. Camp Buehring has given the United States strategic location advantages as through basing their home-base here, they eventually won the war against the Iraqi extremists.

Before the Americans seized the camp and named it Buehring in honor of Lt. Col. H. Buerhing, a US military official killed in the war against the Iraqis, it was once called Camp Udairi. Lt. Col. Buerhing was killed 20 days after he turned 40 back in 2003. Rockets from the Iraqi’s Guerilla Forces were believed to have obliterated their group when they were staying in the hotel Al Rasheed in Baghdad. Before the incident that killed the group and destroyed the hotel, this was once the resting place for officers and soldiers who toiled at the CPA headquarters. This was what they considered a safe haven back then.

Although Camp Buehring is isolated, soldiers and visitors to the camp are offered plenty of amenities to amuse themselves with. The camp is surrounded by a region that goes by the name Udairi in Northwestern Kuwait that’s inhabited so it gives anyone an idea just how isolated the place is. Amenities and facilities here are what soldiers and visitors enjoy the most. The camp has its own internet café, coffee house, gym, phone bank, and even its Burger King branch and one pizza restaurant. Those who hunger for the taste of home can certainly get a lot of those from this camp. Food and drinks served just the way they are in America are enough to cure the homesickness of many soldiers in the camp.
