By this point in the war there were only two British bases left in Basra. One was on the outskirts of the city at the Basra airport with a garrison of 5,000 soldiers. The second, which took most of the brunt of the fighting, was in the city center at Basra Palace, a former palace of Saddam Hussein, with a garrison of 700 soldiers.
