United States Air Force & Canadian Military

At which point this air force base quoting in the base history from the link below, “In 1988, as an attempt to enforce a cease-fire between the warring countries of Iran and Iraq, Incirlik AB served as a staging ground to transport a United Nations peacekeeping force into both states referred to as Operation POST ROAD. A U.S. Air Force C-5 Galaxy transported a 500 personnel force from Canada along with their vehicles and support equipment.” From this base, to Iran and Iraq, Canadian C-130 Hercs transported our equipment and military personnel to these two nations.
