It was produced by Multi-National Corps - Iraq (MNC-I) Public Affairs on Camp Victory, Iraq and has a distribution of exactly 10,000 copies throughout the Iraq theater of operations for coalition service members.

The magazine published stories and photos highlighting missions and actions of servicemembers deployed to Iraq. Included in the magazine every month was a photo section, called "Freedom's Focal Point" which highlighted the best photos taken by military photographers in Iraq, and "In Memoriam", an updated monthly list of U.S. servicemembers who lost their lives in 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.
