The main embassy building will include a central atrium and a rear portion housing classified offices, including the ambassador’s. Hundreds of non-diplomatic personnel from dozens of U.S. agencies will work in the annex building. The two office buildings will house about 1,000 employees.

Marines will provide embassy security and live in their own separate barracks. The embassy grounds will be surrounded by high blast walls, which are all that most Iraqis will ever see of the U.S. Embassy.

Inside the compound, staff will feel right at home. The complex will include a shopping market, beauty salon, movie theater, and American fast food.




Compound Cribs

The ambassador’s private residence will offer the most comfortable quarters. Lower-level employees will squeeze into 619 one-bedroom apartments.
