       KUWAITI THEATER OF OPERATIONS (KTO) WITH 24 DIVISIONS IN THE FIRST

       OPEMTIONAL ECHELON AND ELEVEN DIVISIONS IN THE SECOND ECHELON.
       IRAQI FORCES IN THE KTO ARE EXPECTED T@ REMAIN IN THEIR DEFENSIVE

       POSITIONS. REPOSITIONING IRAQI MOBILE FORCES, NOT ENGAGED BY

       COALITION FORCES MAY OCCUR IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID TARGETING. AN

       INCREASE IN IRAQI RADIO COMMUNICATIONS IS EXPECTED AS FIXED

       COMMUNICATIONS SITES ARE DESTROYED. MOBILE RADARS, SAM AND AAA

       WILL PROBABLY RELOCATE TO AVOID TARGETING. ARTILLERY ALONG THE

       IRAQI/SAUDI AND KUWAITI/SAUDI BORDERS MAY ALSO RELOCATE IF NOT

       ENGAGED AND WILL PROBABLE FIRE AT COALITION TARGETS WITHIN RANGE.

       IRAQI AIRCRAFT WILL BE PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH DEFENSIVE AIR

       OPERATIONS BUT WILL PROBABLY ATTEMPT SOME OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS AT

       KEY COALITION TARGETS, TO INCLUDE MISSILE ATTACKS AGAINST

       COALITION NAVAL FORCES. SSM ATTACKS WILL PROBABLY BE ATTEMPTED

       UNTIL IRAQ'S CAPABILITY TO LAUNCH SUCH ATTACKS IS EXHAUSTED OR

       DESTROYED. THE PROBABILITY OF TERRORIST ATTACKS ON COALITION

       TARGETS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS HIGH. IRAOS' MOST PROBABLE COURSE

       OF ACTION IS TO DEFEND AND ENHANCE THEIR SURVIVABILITY THROUGH

       MINOR REPOSITIONING WHERE POSSIBLE. MULTIPLE COPIES OF LANDSAT
