ALI BASE, Iraq - A joint visit here Sept. 24 by an Iraqi and American Air Force general provided the Iraqi Air Force a better understanding of what assets will be available to support them during the transition and U.S. draw down.

Iraqi Air Force commander, Staff Lt. Gen. Anwar, and U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Robert Kane, director, Iraq Training and Advisory Mission - Air Force a part of Multinational Security Transition Command - Iraq, visited the 407th Air Expeditionary Group at Ali Base.

Together, they conducted a site survey of the airfield and facilities, and spoke to local media from the city of An Nasiriyah about the future of the base.

"We are working together to ensure the base is transferred smoothly to the Iraqi Air Force according to the security agreement," Anwar said. "We have tremendous support from the prime minister, the Minister of Defense, and the U.S. Air Force."

The generals were provided an overview of local airfield operations and saw many of the ongoing construction projects across the base including an air traffic control tower facility, which will increase safety and operability at the airfield with improved technology. They also saw several ramp expansion projects which will allow additional air frames to use the airfield.

During interviews with reporters, Anwar praised the U.S. Air Force for upgrading and maintaining the airfield.

"I had visited the base before, but today we saw many new construction projects," said Anwar. "I want to send my thanks to the U.S. Air Force for their current and future support."
