Which day last week saw the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq?

There was no US forces withdrawal. in Iraq
At least a months ago they allowed the Iraqi Army to take over in Baghdad and other major cities, However there is still fighting in Faluja and Mosul using US forces.
Last week was only an "official" handover. American forces still go on patrols but with Iraqi troops.

How do I know - I was there.
