U.S. troops enter Kuwait after leaving Iraq Dec 18 11.

Trucks carrying soldiers and weaponry streamed over the Iraq border into Kuwait on Sunday (December 18) as the U.S. continued their pull out from Iraq.

Hundreds of convoys of military vehicles and civilian trucks have gone south into Kuwait since President Barack Obama last month said troops would leave as scheduled, effectively ending the large-scale U.S. military presence on Iraqi soil.

The U.S. withdrawal from Iraq after nearly nine years of war is believed to be one of the largest removal jobs in history.

At the start of the year logistics experts calculated there were nearly 3 million pieces of equipment to be moved, from airplanes, helicopters and tanks to laptops and lights.

Toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is dead, executed in 2006, and the worst sectarian violence has, at least for now, passed. But Iraq still struggles with insurgents, a fragile power-sharing government and an oil-reliant economy plagued by power shortages and corruption.

U.S. troops were originally due to stay on as part of a deal to train the Iraqi armed forces, but talks about immunity from prosecution for American soldiers fell apart.
