           ESCORT PACKAGE FOR THE CENTCOM CDR AND THE CORPS CDR HAS BEEN

               (B)     PROBABLE COURSES OF ACTION FOR IRAQI FORCES IN

           SECTOR: IRAQI EFFORTS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE EXTRICATION OF

           FORCES TRAPPED IN THE AL BASRAH BOX. TWO CROSSING POINTS RAVE


           BEEN ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SRATT AL ARAB NEAR AL BASRAH AND ARE


           BEING USED BY RETREATING IRAQI VEHICLES/PERSONNEL. UNITS HAVE

           ENCOUNTERD LIMITED RESISTANCE FROM SOME SCATTERED IRAQI ELEMENTS

           DURING CLEARING OPERATIONS. THESE SPORADIC CONTACTS REPRESENT


           THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO VII CORPS UNITS DURING THIS PHASE


           OF THE OPERATION. NO ORGANIZED COMBAT FORCES REMAIN IN THE KTO


           WHICH ARE A CONVENTIONAL THREAT TO VII CORPS FORCES. TERRORISM,

           PARTICULARLY IN KUWAITI CITIES, WILL BE A THREAT TO VII CORPS

           UNITS AND PERSONNEL AS VII CORPS ENTERS INTO SECURITY OPERATIONS.
