The lights of vehicles from one of the last convoys to leave Iraq, could be seen approaching the border at Khabari Crossing in the pre-dawn hours. In a fitting end to Operation New Dawn, taking place in the
morning hours of Dec. 18, 2011, the final crossing of U.S. forces from Iraq
took place just after dawn and provided a visible end to one of the longest chapters in U.S. military history. During the 8 years and 9 months spent in Iraq, more than one million U.S. service members took part in myriad missions across Iraq.
