The U.S. military declared an end to its Iraq-based anti-ISIS operation Wednesday, saying all U.S.-led coalition forces and equipment had been withdrawn from a key base in the north of the country in line with an agreement reached previously with the Iraqi government.

The U.S. military launched Operation Inherent Resolve in 2014 to confront ISIS, the terrorist group that grew out of the remnants of al-Qaeda in Iraq and seized vast portions of Iraq and neighboring Syria in the years immediately preceding the U.S.-led operation.

Petty Officer 1st Class Wendy Rengifo Garcia, a former Miami, Florida, resident, prepares ships for forward-deployed fleet operations while serving at Commander, Naval Surface Group Southwest (CNSGSW).

Rengifo will start pursuing a master’s degree in human resources management from later this year.

Rengifo Garcia joined the five years ago.

“My father served in the Army in , and he was one of the people who inspired me to join the military,” Rengifo Garcia said. “I originally wanted to join the Peruvian Army, but my father refused to help me pursue that path. Instead, he encouraged me to focus on my education and helped me earn my degree in administration. Looking back, I understand that he wanted me to have a strong foundation and more opportunities for my future. Years later, after coming to the United States, I decided to pursue my own path in the military by joining the Navy. I was partly inspired by my father’s example, but I was also motivated by my own desire to create a more stable future for my family. Other reasons for me joining were that I wanted a challenge and to be the best version of myself.”

Today, Rengifo Garcia serves as a personnel specialist.

The U.S. military is redirecting MQ-9 Reaper drones to as it expands operations in the region, CNN reported on Friday.

The drones, assigned to U.S. Africa Command, would transfer to in the latest buildup of American military force in Latin America. CNN’s report, citing multiple sources, said that the MQ-9 Reapers were being moved to South America ahead of anticipated operations against drug cartels. The U.S. has been carrying out airstrikes on suspected drug boats for more than a year, but this summer escalated operations in and around South America as regional governments joined Washington’s Shield of the Americas coalition.

It is not clear how many Reapers would leave AFRICOM’s area of responsibility or what it would mean for operations on the continent. AFRICOM regularly carries out airstrikes against militants in Somalia using drones and other aircraft. The most recent occurred on Sept. 17, when AFRICOM said it targeted a weapons storage space used by al-Shabaab. Several MQ-9 drones were flown over Nigeria earlier this year in support of U.S. operations around the Lake Chad Basin. This summer, after operations against Islamic State militants wrapped, the U.S. began withdrawing combat forces from the country.

AFRICOM directed questions about the redeployment to the , which declined to comment.
