A 821st Contingency Response Group HUMVEE patrols the taxiway at Qayyarah West Airfield, Iraq, in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve, Nov. 13, 2016. The airfield at Qayyarah West was recaptured from Da’esh by Iraqi forces in July 2016, and has been refurbished by Coalition engineers to allow the re-commencement of air operations. Qayyarah Airfield is now a vital logistical hub, opening an air corridor in support of the battle to liberate Mosul as well as operations throughout northern Iraq.
