Ali Al Salem Air Base
Ali Al Salem Air Base (ICAO: OKAS) is a military air base in Kuwait, approximately 37 km (23 mi) from the Iraqi border, and roughly 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Al Jahra. The airfield is owned by the Government of Kuwait. The base hosted the Royal Air Force (RAF), United States Air Force (USAF), and United States Marine Corps (USMC) personnel and aircraft during Operation Southern Watch and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The base also hosted the Royal Air Force (RAF) during Operation Telic. Since the cessation of those operations, the base has been returned to the control of the Kuwaiti Government, with the USAF maintaining a presence alongside their Kuwait Air Force counterparts. The principal USAF unit on the base is the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing (386 AEW).
