           coordinating complicated logistics requirements, and
           getting supplies, equipment, and troops to the right place
           at the designated time. The Iraqi Army is distinguished
           by its flexibility, unity of command, and high level of
           mobility. The Army is highly qualified in planning, C2,
           logistics and maintenance, but limitations placed upon
           the commanders'  initiative, especially in exploiting
           success, reduce these advantages. Concern over the
           political impact of excessive losses, military leaders' fear
           of punishment for failure, and lack of interservice
           cooperation also hindered initiative during the Iran-Iraq
           War.~
