Iraqi Republican Guard (Fourth Corps)

Regional Conventional Military Operations, Territorial Control, Force Projection, and Tactical Deterrence

Description

Elite front-line units of Saddam Hussein's inner circle, the Iraqi Republican Guard masses suddenly along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, surging south in provocative maneuvers following an F-117 shootdown and airspace breach. KH-10 satellite images hurl the specter into the White House Situation Room, where Nancy McNally demands DEFCON 4 alerts against their threat, only for Leo McGarry to dismantle the panic with biting scorn for their battlefield bungles—casting them as blustering has-beens testing American resolve amid Bartlet's brush with death.
