The "Green Zone" or "International Zone" of Iraq) is a 10 km square area in central Baghdad that was the center of the Coalition Provisional Authority. The contrasting "Red Zone" refers to parts of Baghdad immediately outside the perimeter, but is also loosely applied to all unsecured areas outside the off-site military posts. Both terms originated as the US military designations.
