Grand Canal

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.

Airfield

MSR Tampa is parallel to the Tigris

ASR Lincoln travels east to west

through the center of the AO from

Helicopter base. The airfield is C130

capable.

Routes are generally all weather

Limited elevation and slope

offers good ground and aerial

Drainage canals/irrigation ditches

and embankments will provide

limited concealment from direct

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
