The withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq was a contentious issue in the U.S. for much of the 2000s. The withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq began in 2007 with the end of the Iraq War troop surge of 2007 and was completed by 2011, bringing an end to the Iraq War. The number of U.S. military forces in Iraq peaked at 170,300 in 2007.
