This study examined if the construction of coalition military bases on Iraqi archaeological sites were driven by Orientalist biases during the 2003 Iraq War. The findings highlighted that a lack of pre-deployment training for troops was mainly responsible, this study has thus provided a series of recommendations to rectify this issue in the future.
