CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq - Camp Corregidor and Combat Outpost were returned to the Government of Iraq today in a signing ceremony held in the provincial capital of Ramadi.

Governor Mamoun Sami Rashid Alawani, on behalf of the National Government, signed the documents and officially took possession of the property at the Provincial Government Center a few kilometers from the campus.

Coalition Forces established Camp Corregidor on the abandoned campus of the Agricultural College in early 2004. Strategically located on the main highway connecting Baghdad to Syria, the outpost was under constant attack by Al Qaeda in Iraq foreign fighters and insurgents operating between Ramadi and Fallujah. Cooperation between local leaders, Iraqi Police and Army, and Coalition Forces brought those attacks to an end in 2007 and the base is now being prepared for transition back to its original purpose.

Coalition Forces and local contractors, working with the college's dean and his staff, have begun repairing damage caused by looters after the campus was abandoned in 2004. Agricultural College faculty and students, currently at Al Anbar University, plan to return to their campus once repairs and renovations are complete.

As security has improved in Ramadi and Al Anbar, faculty and students are now gradually returning to their studies at the Women's College, Law School and Al Anbar University. Iraqi Police and Coalition Forces have in turn cleared concrete barriers, concertina wire and checkpoints from some of the roads in the education district to accommodate increased traffic.
