Before invading Kuwait in August of 1991. the Iraqi

army was believed to be the tourth largest army in the

world, with a total of 955.OCX) regulars and 450,000 reserv-

es. Involvement in the 1980-1988 Iran/Iraq War made the

Baghdad army the most experienced of all Arab armies.

The Iraqi armed forces were modeled after the

British General Staff, which governed land operations

involving the lowest unit (the squad), up to the highest unit

(the corps).

The Iraqis have since made modifications based on

Soviet influence and their own war-time experiences.

Tiese changes were necessary because of the use of a

wide range of equipment, disorganization among the

units, and overall expediency.
