Revised Iraqi OOB for RDF Sourcebook

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question about Iraqi Army when there came revised OOBs for the USA Forces in the Gulf made me do this. The Forces in Iraqi Armed Forces is taken before the War on Terror and the attack on Iraq. The Divisions has been moved around a little to also be more true to the RDF SB OOB. Some notes is also added. The armed Forces on the ground is the regular army and the Republican Guard (who ihas best equipment). There is also 10,000 men and women in the defence battalions, they still only have AKM assault guns and SKS rifles. Later on I will try to get my view on other equipment and the Iranian Forces.
