During the late 1970s and the mid1980s, the Iraqi armed forces underwent many changes in size, structure, arms supplies, hierarchy, deployment, and political character. Headquartered in Baghdad, the armyof an estimated 1.7 million or more Iraqis, including reserves actual numbers not available and paramilitaryin 1987 had seven corps, five armored divisions each with one armored brigade and one mechanized brigade, and three mechanized divisions each with one armored brigade and two or more mechanized brigades. And by the close of the Iranlraq war the Iraqi Army General Headquarters supervised up to ten corps headquarters, which performed administrative and logistical tasks and directed operations. Each corps commanded as many as ten armored, mechanized, or infantry divisions, depending on the tactical situation. The brigade was normally the smallest unit to operate independently.
