Subject: Terminations
...It has been noticed that some units have terminated volunteers
without notifying us especially those who have completed 25 years
and more of service or those who have stationery units.
We ask that any of those volunteers not be terminated other than
for health reasons (and when medical committees determine the non
fitness of a military man for service). All formalities which we
receive contrary to those instructions will be returned to take
whatever necessary action.

... The Directorate of Electrical Mechanical Engineering requests
certain bureaus, directorates and units at the General
Headquarters to send repair units or teams for the purpose of
examining and disposing of some of their equipment, which results
in obstructing the production plans of Plant H A K and delaying
repair of equipment belonging to units in these plants. Some of
this equipment is quite expensive and costs the government a lot.
It is feared that some of the parts are circulated in the domestic
market or for possible repair instead od disposal by the plants.
Kindly be advised. and instruct units affiliated to your
departments to send equipment to specialized plants according to
repair forms to decide on its usefulness or disposal.

The following is a summary of what was discussed in the conference
held in our HQ on 8/22/1990.
1. Organize defense of the coastal areas in a manner that would
prevent anybody from entering the houses.
2. Establishing posts on the surface is banned, and all surface
posts have to be taken down, and false targets and deception
are to be used. All are to be made aware of this which is to
reduce the effectiveness of the enemy air power.
3. The method of organizing the defense of coastal areas is to
utilize the small areas of land on the sea shore to organize
strong positions that would include a platoon of tanks,
armored vehicles, heavy or medium gunners, antiaircraft
gunners, infantry. The rest of the infantry are to be
distributed among these posts.3

might use them to target our forces from behind.

should be at least 50 meters away from posts.)

schedules for guard and patrol units, and posts should be
divided into sectors and platoons.
9. Any building that becomes a source of sniping ia to be

13. With the help of the liaison officers, light bombs, whistles,
and ant other means agreed upon earlier, enemy jamming should
be dealt with.
14. No withdrawal from the posts at any cost (KUWAIT IS IRAQI.)
15. All should be advised not to chase the material gains, and to
take care of our land instated (IRAQ.)
16. The motto that we should work with is: Victory and martyrdom
for victory.
17. Collecting water, ammunition and food supplies.
a. A water tank is to be appropriated for each platoon, and
this tank is to be stored underground and to be used
only with a specific order.
b. Ammunition is to be distributed in the shapes of
scattered piles that should be place behind the
sections, platoons, companies, and units.
c. Solid supplies enough for 15 days are to be kept, and
battle food supplies enough for 3 days that must not be
used except with a prior order.

23. Do not damage the buildings and vehicles because they are the
possession of the state.

firmness is required here.
4. Troops should get to know other troops, and they should take
liaison seriously.
