What plug is most commonly used in US military bases in IRAQ? Client spec'd 220v but no plug info?

According to the U.S. Department of State, regarding Embassies in Baghdad: "Electrical power is 220v/50Hz with multi-plug outlets. The two-pronged European outlet is most common, and adapters and transformers are usually available at the local Post Exchange located near the compound" Another page (europlugs.com/ ) says, "Iraq uses UK outlets, Afghanistan uses Germany/French "Schuko" outlets - which means our US high-tech equipments can't get power from any of these non-US outlets in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in effect in most of foreign countries. " This suggests to me that bases use U.S. Plugs.

However, it seems that no matter what plug you use, he could easily get a conversion to the one he needed. Another site (http://gocomics.typepad.com/the_sandbox/2008/11/index.html ) says that "Iraq and U.S. Bases in Iraq use 220v" but doesn't say what plugs. However, this site (http://www.iraq-up-close-and-personal.com/electricityiniraq.html ) Actually shows pictures of plugs from Iraq.

According to it: "In Iraq and Afghanistan, you will find that the buildings have two styles of electrical sockets even though the current is 220 volts 50 hertz. One type is a socket with holes for two round pins. The other is a socket with holes for three flat blades, one vertical and two horizontal.

The origin of the building will determine what kind of electrical sockets will be in the building. Generally speaking, buildings designed or built in Turkey and then shipped to Iraq will have the round pin type socket while ones from Kuwait will have the flat blade type. Electrical items will generally have the round pin type plug on them.

Some items that draw heavy voltage and amps will have the flat blade plug on it. These are interchangeable--you will not mess up your equipment mixing and matching. There are power strips and adapters that can help you hook up almost anything to the electricity in Iraq.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
