G-2 Rep: We pretty much know how the Libyans will fight on the defense, and I’ve depicted it here on a doctrinal template. Essentially, they will use a modified, Russian positional defense with one up and one back defensive belts formed by two operational echelons. Independent artillery and missile regiments form the center of each operational echelon surrounded by two to three mechanized infantry brigades forward and three armor brigades aft, which are normally accompanied by two motorized infantry brigades within the second operational echelon. The WOG headquarters and air defense regiment are positioned between the first and second operational echelons. They’ll mount a pretty good screening effort, especially to their front with mechanized infantry battalions forming a covering force. We think they have the ability to coordinate operations at the brigade level and above and are capable of massing artillery fires. Although their centralized decision-making, poorly trained ground forces and limited combat service support capabilities are all considered limiting factors. Still, WOG commander, Walid Hussein, a well trained aggressive, brilliant and confident commander is known to surprise his opponents during military operations, and due to recent combat success experienced in Tunisia, troop morale and cohesiveness is high.
