1. It has been reported that a number of people have falsely
claimed to be administrative officers in the National Defense
Regiments. This has resulted in disbursing large amounts of money
as a result of commanders' neglect and failure to check the
identification of those who report to them as administrative
officers. This has cause a lot of embarrassment to the commanders
before the court and they have been severely punished for
negligence.
2. In light of the above please instruct the commanders to
thoroughly check the names of administrative officers who have
joined your units recently while (illegible) before disbursing any
money to them. Make sure that there will be no recurrence of what
happened in the future.
Please take the necessary action.

Appendix A Case of False Identity
1. On 14 June 1988 a man in uniform presented himself to the
National Defense Regiment/243 as Lt Galil (illegible) karmoush.
He was carrying a forged letter issued by the Motorized
Transportation Company/34. He was admitted into the Qateh Azmed
Command where the regiment ( illegible), and this was publicized.
The fore-mentioned officer then cashed the check combining the
salaries of the regiment personnel for the entire month. The
amount is 75,000 (seventy five thousand) dinars. During the
initial investigation it transpired that no officer with that name
had ever been in the Army.
2. On 9 November 1989 a man in uniform presented himself to the
Marine Division/441 as Lt Maguid Hassan Ahmed. He came with a
forged letter issued by the National Defense Regiment/451. His
admission into the regiment was publicized. The officer then
altered the amount of a payment check from 47,000 (forty seven
thousand) dinars to 97,000 (ninety seven thousand) dinars. This
was done without any knowledge of the regiment command. He cashed
the check and paid the salaries of the entire regiment before he
fled with 50,000 (fifty thousand) dinars. It later transpired
that there was indeed an officer with that name and that he worked
for the Officers Administration Directorate.

The Cultural Contest (5)
1989-1990
Appendix A: Instructions for the Cultural Contest (5)
The First Level - The Land Forces
The officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers in the combat
units.
First Topic:
1. Success in the battle depends in large extent on the
competence of the branch units. No doubt the non-commissioned
officers are instrumental in training and preparing the soldiers
in peacetime and in leading them during the battle.
2. In order for the non-commissioned officers to be able to
assume this role successfully and efficiently, they should be well
trained in the use of combat equipment and they should be able to
inculcate the concepts of individual and tactical training in
their soldiers. They should further be able to lead the soldiers
in the battle-field.
3. Write a military paper up to 1000 words on how to develop non-
commissioned officers in your unit from the training and technical
aspects.
Second Topic:
1. During combat some tactical, technical and administrative
problems crop up, which were not planned for previously. Hence
the important role of commanders (officers and ranks) who can use
their ingenuity in tackling those problems.
2. There is no doubt that you encountered some of those problems
during the glorious Saddam battle against the Iranian enemy and
that you took action immediately to solve those problems. But do
you think that those solutions of yours were sound, or did some
situations call for a different approach? Write a military paper
up to 1000 words and discuss some of the crucial problems facing
new commanders in the battle and the best solutions you propose
for solving those problems.
Top Secret

Appendix B
The Cultural Contest (5)
For 1989-1990
The Second Level - The Land Forces
Commanders of the Combat Units
First Topic:
1. Individual training in the use of weapons in the battlefield
plays a vital role in preparing the combat unit and in developing
its concept of tactical training. Individual training will not be
effective unless it goes through the well established phases - the
basic and the specialized.
2. The detailed and good planning for individual training aims at
developing competent fighters who are able to accurately hit their
targets and use their weapons in all combat situations and under
all conditions, climatic and otherwise.
3. As a unit commander, write a military paper (1500-2000 words)
to explain your plan for raising the level of individual training
in your unit so that it can execute the tactical operation
successfully in all combat phases.
Second Topic:
1. The combat unit is organized in the battlefield as a part of a
higher formation. This organization provides for fire support and
administrative self sufficiency for a limited period of time. The
tasks are assigned within the capabilities of the command and
control available to the unit commander.
2. During your unit's involvement in the glorious Saddam battle
you must have run into situations which caused you to reconsider
your unit's organization and the need to make the necessary
changes to cope with the situation.
3. As a unit commander write a military paper (1500-2000 words)
in which to discuss the current organization of your unit and
whether it is responsive to the tasks assigned your unit in the
battle. Write proposals that you deem necessary for reconsidering
the current organization of your unit.
