The Zatar Wetlands along
the Red Sea coastline
possess vital natural
gas resources, but
create a difficult
battlefield for United
States and Middle
Eastern Coalition
forces. Small
tributaries break the
landscape into isolated
islands whose soggy
marshes inhibit heavy
vehicles. As American
forces advance, Middle
Eastern Coalition forces
possess an initial
advantage in the air.
Control of an abandoned
airfield is crucial in
the battle, after which
supply line protection
will become an
additional
consideration.
