The "no fly" zones apply to aircraft and such. I don't think ground troops and artillery are covered.

However, I will defer to someone with more expertise on the subject.

The Threatening Storm gave a me a very clear impression that the NFZ was designed to protect Iraqis from Saddam's military; moving his army into these areas is a definite No No.   I hope someone will supplement my understanding, if necessary.

I'm interested too GSS. BTW did you really mean to say Kuwaiti's instead of Iraqi's??

I think it covers more than that. See

Military sources say Iraq is trying to move mobile surface-to-surface missiles, mobile surface-to-air missiles, early warning radars and anti-ship missiles into the southern no-fly zone."
