History
The Coalition Chronicle was founded in 2006 by public affairs elements of the 82nd Airborne, who were acting as the major command stationed at Camp Victory, Baghdad, Iraq under the nomenclature Multi-National Corps - Iraq. In 2008, the Coalition Chronicle was awarded 3rd place for Magazine format publication in the military-wide journalism awards, known as the Keith L. Ware Awards. Staff responsible for producing the content were members of the 28th Public Affairs Detachment, originally deployed from Fort Lewis, WA. Coalition Chronicle was produced by MNC-I Public Affairs and the end of publication occurred during 2010, prior to the U.S. redeployment of forces from Iraq and the closing of Camp Victory in December 2010.
