  • Forward Operating Base Kalsu, also known as 'FOB Kalsu', COS Kalsu or simply Camp Kalsu, was a U.S. Military installation in Iskandariya, Iraq, 20 miles south of Baghdad. It was officially closed by members of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, on December 12, 2011 as part of the US Army's withdrawal from Iraq. While under control of the Marines of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, two Marines, Lance Corporal Ryan Krieger and Lance Corporal Christopher Roberts are credited with saving the base from being taken over by Iraqi militias by using hand to hand combat to subdue three members of the group from infiltrating the camp in the early morning hours of September 19, 2004. Krieger and Roberts were taking a smoke break while on watch and observed three masked men attempt to cross the berm in an attempt to breach the outer “wire”. The three men were taken to the base detention facility. One was a known terrorist on an internal watchlist. Two were later transported to Abu Ghraib Prison in Baghdad, while a third was transported to a prison detention facility at Camp Cropper near Baghdad International Airport. The pair of Marines did not seek recognition for their actions. (en)
