Qalat Sikar Air Base, Military air base in Maysan Governorate, Iraq.
The air base features a 9,700-foot runway with eight hardened aircraft shelters positioned strategically across the installation grounds.
During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the base operated as a central location for MiG-23BN fighter aircraft squadron operations.
The United States Marine Corps established Camp Fenway near the base, naming it after the baseball park in Boston, Massachusetts.
The base location provides strategic positioning at 243 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, facilitating regional military operations and defense capabilities.
The concrete structures of the runway and taxiways remain visible while surrounding operational buildings have deteriorated since 2003.
