Some of the 173rd Airborne Brigade's combat forces left their base in the north Wednesday on armed patrols to probe for Iraqi forces in the direction of the oil-rich northern cities of Kirkuk and Mosul. Another battalion was expected to do the same soon.

But the officials said the withdrawal of Iraqi Republican Guard divisions that had been guarding Mosul and Kirkuk appeared to have opened the way for a U.S.-led force to move toward Baghdad, rather than concentrate on securing Kirkuk, Mosul and the oil fields as originally planned
