Kharab al-Jir base is a Syrian military installation near Rmelan in Al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria.[1]
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the US equipment was transported by a cargo plane to the US military base at Kharab al-Jir Airport on October 2025.[2]
In February 2026, coalition forces were reportedly withdrawing from the Kharab al-Jir base, dismantling or destroying parts of the facility, and transferring equipment to Iraq as part of a broader US withdrawal from the country.[3]
