Looks like the 101st is. I read recently that the 4th's seaborn transit of their gear will take something like 10 days. They'll be coming up from the rear, keeping logistical routes clear, mopping resistance, and will most likely see action in front of Baghdad. Any Iraqi units facing them will wish they'd never been born.

Iraqi doctrine is to use regular army as a screen and then counter attack with RG. It seems they are trying this again. Unfortunately for the RG the US has total air dominance. These counter attacks are slowing the advance somewhat but are being destroyed by artillery and air. The airforce will continue to pound the RG night and day so in some ways I'm glad they are coming out to be destroyed.
