Saddam had four division of Republican Guard troops roughly deployed around Baghdad, in addition to about 30,000 in Security Forces and God knows how many fedayeen. All were hard-line Sunni fanatics to varying degrees.

The Iraqis were the Republican Guard, the supposedly elite army corps. The Iranians are the Revolutionary Guards, now sort of an internal special police. Little confusion here because of similar names.
