Iraqi corps probably have a brigade size air defense artillery (ADA) unit for protection of the corps headquarters and logistics areas. The battalion's mission includes constructing obstacles, conducting engineer reconnaissance, constructing defensive positions, clearing enemy obstacles, building roads, and supporting bridging units in bridging operations. Additionally, each conventional maneuver brigade has a supply and transportation company, a headquarters and signal company, a chemical platoon, a commando company (the commando unit is separate from the division commando force), a reconnaissance platoon, and assault engineer company. Use of limited objectives was more likely due to a lack of reliable intelligence on the enemy rear area, lack of deep indirect fire support due to a lack of long range target acquisition (radars), poor tactical initiative displayed by small unit commanders, or specific orders from GHQ for limited operations due to strategic considerations. ./cache/buf.39072021986504.pdf ./txt/buf.39072021986504.txt
