What is the distance between these 2 Iraqi Cities?

Question

Iskandariyah and Baghdad? and where do I find the information.

Ok also this is a double question but does anyone know where to find a map of ALL fobs in Iraq. I found one that claims to list all of them but neither Iskan or Kalsu are on it???

Answer 1

Iskandariyah is about 20 miles south of Baghdad.  Click on the google link for a map of the two cities.

Forward Operating Base Kalsu, or FOB Kalsu is a U.S. Military instalation in Iskandaria, Iraq, 20 miles south of Baghdad.  I'm thinking Iskan is at Iskandaria also, hence the spelling similarities.
