Camp Rustamiyah (formerly Camp Muleskinner or Camp Cuervo) is a forward operating base located six miles southeast of Sadr City, Iraq.

History

Iraqi Military Academy - Rustamiyah cadets line the walkway as their fellow students lead VIPs into the ceremony to transfer Forward Operating Base Rustamiyah back over to Iraqi officials here March 31. Some of the dignitaries include: Maj. Gen. Daniel Bolger, commander of Multi-National Division - Baghdad; Maj. Gen. Majeed Hassan Zgatt, commandant of the Iraqi Military Academy - Rustamiyah; and Maj. Gen. Hussein Jassim, executive chief of staff of the Iraqi Army for training.

Camp Rustamiyah was captured by the United States during the Iraq War. In 2009, the United States transferred control of Camp Rustamiyah to the Iraqi security forces.[1]

Location

Camp Rustamiyah, which is situated between a waste incineration facility and a sewage treatment plant, is noted for its unpleasant and purportedly hazardous air quality.[2][3]
