H-3 Air Base (code-named 202C, 202D) is part of a cluster of former Iraqi Air Force bases in the Al-Anbar Governorate of Iraq. H3 is located in a remote stretch of Iraq's western desert, about 435 kilometers from Baghdad in western Iraq. It is close to the Syrian–Iraqi border, and near the highway that connects Jordan with Baghdad.
H-3 Main is supported by two dispersal airfields, H-3 Southwest 32°44′48″N 039°35′59″E / 32.74667°N 39.59972°E, and H-3 Northwest 33°04′34″N 039°35′52″E / 33.07611°N 39.59778°E, and a Highway strip, 42 kilometers to the west 32°50′55″N 039°18′28″E / 32.84861°N 39.30778°E. H-3 Southwest is served by a single 9,700-foot runway and has a parallel taxiway that could be used as an alternate runway.
