Remote Iraqi air base in the western desert region.

Location

Al Anbar Governorate, Iraq

H2 Air Base is a military airfield located in the Al Anbar Governorate of western Iraq, situated in a remote desert area near the town of Waleed close to the Syrian border. It has historically served as a strategic installation given its position in the vast Syrian Desert. The base gained international attention during the Gulf War era and subsequent conflicts in Iraq, having been used by the Iraqi Air Force and later by coalition and U.S. military forces following the 2003 invasion. Its remote location made it a logistically significant site for operations in western Iraq. H2 does not operate as a commercial civilian airport and has no scheduled passenger services. It remains a military facility with restricted access, and detailed current operational status is not widely disclosed in open sources.
