Operation New Dawn began September 1, 2010, marking the official end of Operation Iraqi Freedom and U.S. combat operations in Iraq and
began a new focus on advising, assisting and training Iraqi security forces.
This operation was aimed at developing support for Iraq's stability with 50,000 U.S. military personnel remaining in non combat roles until December 2011.
It was a significant shift to a commitment that would help Iraq in building it's military and civilian organizations while also addressing the ongoing challenges such as violence.
On December 15, 2011, the U.S. military officially declared the end of Operation New Dawn, with the remaining troops leaving the country by the end of the month.
This marked the conclusion of nearly nine years of U.S. military involvement in Iraq, which had begun with the 2003 invasion.
The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011 marked the end of a long and costly military engagement.
Operation New Dawn attempted to ensure a stable and secure environment for the Iraqi government and its people. However, the ongoing challenges faced by Iraq, including the rise of the
Islamic State (ISIS) in subsequent years, have raised questions about the long-term success of OND and the broader U.S. engagement in the country.
The legacy of Operation New Dawn and its impact on Iraq and the region remain subjects of debate, illustrating the complexities and uncertainties of modern military interventions.
