Baghdad is a 35 percent danger pay post with a post allowance of 30 percent with three rest and recuperation periods. The Baghdad Embassy Compound, where the contractor lives and works, includes indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, a coffee shop, convenience stores, multiple gyms, and a variety of sports and hobby groups to join.

Boasting a dry climate, and a dynamic, rich culture, Iraq is a deeply compelling country with talented FSNs who know how to navigate the challenging development and security context while eager to professionally develop through robust partnerships with their U.S. colleagues.
