              4U)             IRAQI GROUND FORCES CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THEIR
           DEFENSIVB POSTURE WITHIN THE KTO WITH ELEMENTS OF 35 DIVISIONS (25
           COMMITTED / 10 REINFORCING).

             BfU)             IT APPEARS THAT IRAQI GROUND FORCE STRATEGY IS TO
           WEATHER THE COALITION AIR STRIKES IN PLACE WHILE ANTICIPATING A
           COALITION GROUND ASSAULT. IT IS POSSIBLE, THAT SOME DEGREE OF
           COMBAT CAPABILITY (ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF COMMUNICATIONS AND
           CONTROL) HAS BEEN LOST BY IRAQI DIVISIONS DUE TO ALLIED AIR STRIKES.
           DETAILED REPORTING IS NOT AVAILABLE TO CONFIRM THE EXACT EFFECTS.

                      ftUM! BDA SUMMARY: ALTHOUGH THE COALITION AIR CAMPAIGN
           IS AFFECTING THE OVERALL IRAQI COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS, IT IS ASSESSED
           THATO THUS PARI, IT HAS NOT DONE 80 TO ANY APPRECIABLE DEGREE. THE
           CONTINUED INTERDICTION OF THE MANEUVER UNITS IN THE KTO WILL MOST
           LIKELY LOWER THE MORALE OF ALL UNITS ATTACKED. THE CAMPAIGN IS
           MAKING A BAD LOGISTICS SYSTEM WORSE ESPECIALLY FOR THE INFANTRY
           DIVISIONS ADJACENT TO THE WADI AL BATIN. THIS SITUATION AND LOW
           MORALE PROBABLY 18 REDUCING THE COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS OF
           FRONT LINE UN
