In a recent missile attack on the Al-Assad Airbase in western Iraq, which occurred on Saturday night, multiple missiles were fired, allegedly by Iranian-backed militants, according to U.S. Central Command. The airbase is home to the 10th Mountain Division soldiers of the United States Army.

Fortunately, the majority of the missiles were intercepted, thanks to the defense systems in place. However, some missiles managed to strike the base, resulting in injuries to a number of U.S. personnel. These personnel are currently being evaluated for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

This is not the first time such an attack has taken place. In October of the previous year, a similar incident occurred, causing injuries to several soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (BCT) of the 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum. Central Command, unfortunately, did not provide any response regarding the involvement of soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division in this recent attack.

The missile attack serves as a reminder of the ongoing tension in the region and the threat posed by Iranian-backed militants. As investigations into the incident continue, it is crucial for the United States to assess the security measures at Al-Assad Airbase and ensure the safety of its personnel serving in Iraq.

The casualties resulting from the attack highlight the grave risks faced by soldiers on the ground, as they bravely fulfill their duties. The U.S. military will be closely monitoring the situation and providing support to those injured during this latest assault.

As details emerge, it is expected that further actions will be taken to protect the troops and prevent future attacks on American military facilities in the region. The incident highlights the need for continued vigilance and enhanced security measures to safeguard the well-being of the U.S. soldiers serving overseas.
