This marks a significant drawdown of US forces after years of counter-ISIS operations, though residual advisory presence remains. The shift reflects improved Iraqi capabilities but leaves open questions on counterterrorism capacity and regional influence.

The withdrawal's completeness is confirmed, though the long-term security implications and regional power shifts remain uncertain.
