Re: Iraqi errors report - Part 2
Formation 165: Bde AA Company
It should be renamed “Bde SP AA Bn” or similar.Three SP SAM platoon, formation n. 175, should be added slots 6-7-8. Availability dates should be changed to 1/1978-4/2003
This formation would be used to represent the mixed SPAA/SP-SAM battalions used in the armored divisions.
Unit 178: 155mm M114 Pl
Initial availability date should be changed to to 1/1986 or similar. AFAIK the ones in service were captured from Iran. Picture should be changed to n. 12089 representing the towed gun.
Formation 295: Inf Bde Rec Co
Should be renamed Recon Plt + or similar and have a 4/2003 cutoff.
Formation 296: Mech Bde Rec Co
It should be deleted
Formation 298: Arm Bde Rec Co
It should have the formations in the slots 5-6-7 deleted and renamed Recon Plt (AT)
"The Iraqi Army: Organization and Tactics" describes a recon platoon variant composed by two standard BRDMs and four SP-ATGM. 4/2003 cutoff should be applied
