Allied forces face resistance
March 24 — With advancing American forces rubbing up against Iraqi Republican Guard units in the Baghdad area, U.S. and British troops continued to face stiff resistance along their long supply line from Kuwait, raising concerns that the rapid thrust northward may have exposed the allied flank. On Monday, Gen. Tommy Franks characterized the opposition, mostly from irregular Iraqi forces known as the “Fedayeen,” as “sporadic” and said the coalition was making rapid and dramatic progress.
