Ou can see the terrain around the coast has some ranges, but at 18 miles roughly fm the port, they would be a good defensive position around the beachhead. After that it's "tank country" - the syrians wouldn't last three days.

Tank country is exactly how I'd call it, and we're sitting on half of it. I took this from the TC side of a gunvee during a drive along the Syrian border. The loc is due west of Sinjar villiage, which is the last Iraqi town before the border on the road to Mosul. Beyond the road is a seven foot earthen berm, ostensibly to stop smugglers.

This pic was taken on a hill at the end of a small mountain range. Pretty much everything beyond this point leading into Syria is as flat as can be.
