Red Zone (Iraq)

Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 1 month ago

“Red Zone” was a term used during the occupation of Iraq to designate the unsafe areas of Baghdad, namely all parts of the city outside the Green Zone. It came into use following the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation by the United States, the United Kingdom, and allied forces (MNF-I). This area was generally off-limits to most US citizens, as well as to U.S. military personnel, due to security concerns.
