The military is closing the main north-south highway to civilian traffic every night for the next year so that an uninterrupted column of vehicles can move to a logistics base in Kuwait.
A total of 31 million pieces of kit will be transported in this way, including everything from ammunition cases to tables from the mess halls..... The military has budgeted at least $12 billion (£7.5 billion) for repairs. .... The economic impact of the military’s departure on Iraq will be substantial. The US has been spending billions of dollars every year, benefiting everyone from Iraqi construction companies to owners of properties used by the Americans. Military spending has become a mainstay of the Iraqi economy
