While the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021, Iraq still hosts about 2,500 American troops as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, a mission to root out the terrorist group ISIS.
U.S. Army Reservist Andrea Hayden served as a medic during her tours, and it was on her last deployment at the Al-Asad Airbase in western Iraq — when everything changed for her.
It was January 2020 and Iran-backed militias launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward the U.S. and coalition troops stationed at Al-Asad. An American drone captured video of the attack. "It was like an earthquake. Everything shook," Hayden said. "The bunker filled with dust. Then it was just a matter of, I don't know — holding on for dear life."
