Dora Farms
At the time of the 1991 Gulf War one chemical storage facility was reportedly located east of al-Dora [ad-Dawrah] in southeast Baghdad. It was bordered by the Tigris River on the east and the Dora expressway on the west. A chicken factory and a slaughter house were located dver this complex. Conventional munitions were also stored at this facility.

On 19 March 2003 communications intercepts suggested Saddam Hussein would be staying at a Tigris River facility known as Dora Farms, which was linked to his wife's family. Subsequent reconnaissance identified guards and vehicles tucked into tree lines on the farm. US forces launched the campaign on 20 March 20003 by firing more than 40 Tomahawk missiles on Dora Farms. Every structure in the compound was destroyed, except one building - the main palace - hidden behind a wall topped by electrified barbed wire. Bunker-busters dropped by F-117 stealth fighters were used on the presumption the compound had underground tunnels where Saddam could be hiding, intelligence officials said. But the weapons targeted on the central palace missed, exploding nearby. There was not a bunker in the Dora Farms area.

Camp/FOB Steel Falcon
By the end of 2003 the Dora Farms site in southern Baghdad housed a major U.S. military base and was sealed off from the public.

Camp Steel Falcon is a Task Force 1st Armored Division forward operating base located in the Al Rashid district of southern Baghdad.
