1-14 IN
The Tigris River is the principle drainage feature flowing north to south and creates a natural boundary to the east. The Grand Canal splits the OE in half and flows west to east depositing into the Tigris River.

An extensive network of manmade drainage/irrigation canals dissects the OE.

OBSERVATIONS AND FIELDS OF FIRE

1-14 IN
Limited elevation and slope throughout the agricultural areas offers good ground and aerial observation and FOF. Drainage canals/irrigation ditches and embankments will provide limited concealment from direct observation. Date palm orchards will provide good concealment from aerial observation and limit FOF. Residential and commercial buildings averaging about 1-4 stories in height and spaced about less than 4 meters apart will restrict direct observation and FOF.
