Iraqi counter-offensive

Almighty Colin · 03-26-2003

"A large contingent of Iraq’s Republican Guard headed south in a convoy of at least 1,000 vehicles toward U.S. Marines in central Iraq on Wednesday — an area that already has seen the heaviest fighting of the war. The advance appeared to signal that the Republican Guard, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s best-trained and most loyal force, was still prepared to go on the offensive despite several days of allied airstrikes and missile attacks on its positions."

Should be interesting. Saddam's big counter-offensive in Gulf War I was a huge mistake.

Advantages: Takes advantage of (assumably still) limited air capabilities with sandstorm.
Disadvantages: Places equipment in the open away from defensive positions.
