A reconnaissance platoon with six scout vehicles (class 32 ones, like unit 290) should be added
Availability date 1/1960-4/2003

A mechanized versions of the support weapons platoon should be added, composed by:
1) Two APCs
2) 2 MGs sections
3) 3 60mm mortars
Availability date 1/1975-4/2003

Formation 166: SPAA Batallion
Should have its number of units cut back to nine from the current twelve.
Also final availability date should be restricted to 4/2003


Formation 305: Combat Sup't Co
It looks like could be reorganized in a more rational manner
1)Unit 350 in slot 1
2)Formation 1286 in slot 2
3)Formation 1186 in slot 3
4)Formation 1186 in slot 4
Also final availability date should be restricted to 4/2003

Two formations that should be deleted
Formation 310: Bn Weapons Co
Formation 311: Bn Weapons Co
Properly configured formations 290-291-292 make them redundant

Formation 345: ILAV Platoon
I suggest the current units to be deleted and replaced by:
1) Three sapper sections (template unit 440)
2) Three ILAVs

Formation 344: ILAV Company
Unit 1 Motor secction should be replaced by a sapper section(template unit 440).

In the iraqi army ILAVs are issued primarily to the engineer units.

Unit 410-411-412-413-414: Rifle Section.
I had, previously in this thread explained how the current arrangement in the infantry organization is not correct, with the infantry platoon split between rifle sections and weapons teams (units 400-401-402-403). In reality this was not the case and conventional squads arrangements were used. Thus the Rifle sections should be treated in the same way I suggested earlier for the Motor Sections: renationalized (they are used in too many scenarios to modify them) and new squads created incorporating the LMGs and the AT weapons.

Formation 731: Mercenary Co
Formation 730: Mercenary Plt
What are they and their associated units (units 785-786-787-788-789) supposed to represent?
If they are security contractors their armament should be changed. If they are experienced foreign jihadists then they are OK but formation names are misleading.
I suggest renaming them “jihadist band” and “jihadist group” or something similar would be the quickest fix.

Unit 82: 160mm Mortar
Final availability date should be restricted to 4/2003

Unit 12: Type 69-II
I suggest an icon change to its proper icon n. 1606, like already is for unit 618

Unit 392: MT-Lbu
I suggest icon change to its proper icon n. 3219
