REPUBLICAN GUARD  REPUBLIKANSKA GARDA

      Republikanska garda je bila opremljena najmodernijim iračkim anoružanjem i brojala je oko 80.000 vojnika, podijeljenih u dva korpusa. Garda nije bila stacionirana u samom Bagdadu, već u njegovim predgrađima sa zadatkom zaštite glavnog grada. Sadamov sin Qusay Hussein je zapovjedao zajedno sa štabnim generalom Ibraheem Abdul Sattar Muhammad al Tikriti-jem.

      The Republican Guard was equipped with Iraq's most modern weapons and had an estimated 80,000 soldiers divided into two corps. The guard, however, was not allowed in Baghdad but was posted on its outskirts to defend the approaches of Iraq's capital. The guard was supervised by Qusay Hussein, Saddam Hussein's youngest son, and its chief of staff is Staff Gen. Ibraheem Abdul Sattar Muhammad al Tikriti.

FEDAAYEEN SADDAMS  SADAMOVI FEDAJINI

      Fedaayeen Saddam je paravojna organizacija lojalna vladi Sadama Huseina. Prevedeno, njihovo ime znači nešto kao „ljudi spremni umrijeti (žrtvovati se) za Sadama“. Na svom vrhuncu imali su između 30.000 i 40.000 pripadnika. Kako nisu bili dio regularne iračke vojske, odgovarali su direktno predsjedničkoj palači.

      Fedaayeen Saddam was a paramilitary organization loyal to the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The name was chosen to mean "Saddam's Men of Sacrifice". At its height, the group had 30,000-40,000 members. The Fedayeen Saddam was not part of Iraq's regular armed forces but rather operated as a paramilitary unit of irregular forces. As a result of this, the Fedayeen reported directly to the Presidential Palace, rather than through the military chain of command.
