Top Secret and Confidential letter number 102 dated December

The Armed Forces general Commander issued an order to convene the
General Command of the Armed Forces on Saturday, December 8, 1990.
It was relayed in a Top Secret, Confidential, and Urgent letter
number 1262 dated December 12, 1990 by the Armed Forces General
CommandÕs Secretariat. The order was to discuss the following:
1. To proceed with the serious work to complete the second
defensive line.
2. To concentrate on building fortified locations inside the
first (previous) defensive line and continue to fight at all
fronts even if a penetration of the defensive line occurs.
They stay isolated by barriers and staffed with a number of
kamikaze.
3. To build a real protection to prepare the artillery and pile
its ammunition as soon as possible.
4. To conduct a report about the individuals and the test
results that describe the defensive line so the soldier
would learn that a unnecessary movement at the locations
leads to real irreversible losses.
5. The defensive lines must be fortified by the shore to
reinforce the resistance of the personnel. In case of a
landing, they are trained to infiltrate the city to fight the
enemy in city fighting and all weapons.
6. To remove, reduce, or turn off night lights that surround
ammunition depots of the naval forces or any important target
in the Armed Forces. Also to remove or hide any signal that
may be used by the enemyÕs pilots to get close or attack the
target.
7. The Commander of the Republican Guards and Corps commanders
are to study setting regulations and suggestions to honor
individuals who destroy enemy ground, air, and equipment and
catch prisoners.
War standards with Iran can be considered for this
purpose...by increasing them for the American and British
enemies and Western countries in general and decreasing for
others.
We hope to take the necessary measure. [Signature]

After the Army Chief of StaffÕs visit on December 12, 1990 to the
southern area of operations in the presence of Assistant Army
Chief of Staff for the operations to attend the testing of Tareq
project and meet with some commanders and upon reviewing all the
instructions that were issued since August 2, 1990 until now and
the measures that were taken to improve defense conditions in the
area, the following decision were made:
1. To confirm the instructions that were issued in the Top
Secret and Confidential letter number 6870 dated December 6,
1990. This letter was mentioned in the above battalionÕs
letter number 6060 dated December 10, 1990. In turn. This
latter was mentioned in our Top Secret and Confidential
letter number 66 dated December 18, 1990 that pertain to all
the measures that need to be carried out and followed by
commanders to reach an appropriate formula to face the
American enemy and its allies.
2. From now on, commands are to give suggestions about using
Tareq project in light of the test that was conducted on
August 12, 1990 and link the positive aspects of the projects
with all other measures that pertain to the defense within
the responsibility sectors.
3. There was no decision on forming shield troops in the defense
site. These troops are required to force the enemy to open up
and to fight and resist in the site while taking into
consideration the nature of the elements of these troops.
4. To multiply the systems in the vital elements in the defense
site. This covers the borders that separate the dangerous
threatening directions / the roads that lead to the defense
site.
5. Training officers and fighters on minor mobilization is
considered essential to increase their competence in
directing the battle.
