Army News Service

Release Date: 10/15/2003

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Army News Service, Oct. 15, 2003) -- The U.S. Military Postal Service has assigned new geographic zip codes for units and personnel serving in Iraq.

The intent of the new zip codes is to decrease the time it takes for service members and civilian employees to receive their mail, officials said, as well as to improve postal service throughout Iraq.

Family members and friends of service members and civilians assigned to V Corps and 3rd COSCOM units that currently use zip code 09302 and 09372 for their letters and packages are now required to use a new zip code that reflects the unit and individual's actual geographic location within Iraq.

The new geographic zip codes are as follows:

Al Asad 09333

Babylon (MND CS) 09332

Balad (LSA Anaconda) 09391

BIAP 09335

Mosul (LSA Diamondback) 09334

Tallil (LSA Adder) 09331

Tikrit (FLB Sycamore) 09393

Umm Qasr (Camp Bucca) 09375

Rasheed 09390

Victory Base 09342

Camp Dogwood 09344

Mail with the zip code of 09302 and 09372 will continue to be delivered to the intended recipient even after the change is in effect, officials said, however they warned there may be a slight delay in delivery.

For service members assigned to the below listed units, the zip code numbers will not change, and they remain as follows:

101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) 09325

1st Armor Division 09324

4th Infantry Division 09323

3rd ACR 09320

2nd LCR 09322

82nd Airborne Division 09394, 09384, 09368

173rd Airborne Brigade 09347
