Earmarked for the offensive into Saudi Arabia was the Iraqi Third Corps,[29] the 1st Mechanized Division from Fourth Corps and a number of commando units.[30] Third Corps, commanded by Major General Salah Aboud Mahmoud (who would also command the overall offensive), had 3rd Armored Division and 5th Mechanized Division,[29] as well as a number of infantry divisions. Fourth Corps' commander was Major General Yaiyd Khalel Zaki. The 3rd Armored Division had a number of T-72 tanks, the only non-Republican Guard force to have them,[21] while the other armored battalions had T-62s and T-55s,[31] a few of which had an Iraqi appliqué armor similar to the Soviet bulging armor also known as "brow" laminate armor or BDD
