Unfortunately, the coalition traffic pattern analysis is relatively easy to predict, increasing vulnerability to enemy attacks. As a result, IEDs pose the greatest threats to convoys. Coalition forces use these improved roadways for high-speed movement with many route options.

Extensive use of traffic circles is widespread. As a good number of Iraq highways are extensive and modern, with four- to eight-lane paved roads in portions of the country. The proficiency of attacks in Iraq increased along with frequency with many of attacks directed toward interdicting convoys. Use of booby traps Iraq has been similar to that in Israel where they have inflicted casualties and provoked terror among United States (US) and coalition forces. Another common booby trap encountered involved daisy chaining the Valmara 69 antipersonnel (AP) fragmentation mine. In northern Iraq, the Iraqi military routinely boobytrapped 5-gallon cans of napalm to harass and intimidate the Kurdish population. Most of these devices were located in numerous bunker complexes. Additionally, Iraq used mines extensively in the northern regions of the country to curtail internal dissident activities.Дuring this period, Iraqi soldiers gained extensive knowledge and experience in the use of booby traps and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).Дuring the Gulf War, coalition forces encountered significant numbers of booby traps and IEDs. Both countries used mines extensively along their common border. From 1983 to 1988, the Iran/Iraq War was characterized by large-scale attacks against entrenched, heavily fortified, and mined positions on both sides of the border. Starting with the Iran-Iraq War onwards, the Iraqi military has been involved in three major wars. During this period, the central Iraqi government attempted to subdue Kurdish demands for autonomy through the use of mine warfare. Northern Iraq's mine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) problems date back to the end of World War II, but mines were not heavily used in this region until the 1960s and 1970s.

To subdue the Kurdish population in northern Iraq.To ward off invasion during the Gulf War (1990 through 1991).

To protect its borders during the lengthy war with Iran (1980 through 1988).Iraq emplaced minefields for three main purposes: Iraq is considered one of the most mine-infested nations in the world. Mines already in the ground-8 million antipersonnel (AP) and 2 million antitank (AT), with Iraq both a producer and exporter of AP mines. As of early 2003, it was estimated that there were over 10 million Iraq is one of the most heavily mined nations in the world.
