Where We Work | ![]() |
Employees will work and reside within the "International Zone" — an area of approximately five square kilometers, about 6 miles from the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). The majority of Embassy staff work in the Embassy Annex, the former Republican Guard Palace. Staff living quarters are located on the Embassy Annex grounds. The Chancery (Embassy) is located on a separate compound and houses public functions such as Consular Services and Foreign Commercial and Agricultural Services. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is adjacent to the Chancery. Several ITAO positions are located outside of Baghdad in one of many provinces. In all locations security and living accommodations are provided in compliance with Department of State Chief of Mission guidelines.
