27 February 1991. Rain, low cloud and oil smoke. Behind a low rise in southern Iraq, a Republican Guard armored brigade waits in the classic defense behind a hill: let the Americans come over the top, then kill them on the skyline. An American armored brigade under Col. Montgomery Meigs, more than 200 tanks and Bradleys on a line over 10 km long, comes over that rise at 12:17. We rebuild Medina Ridge on the real ground, from satellite photos and the Space Shuttle's radar heights, and show why the trap failed: the Guard dug in about 3 km behind the crest, out of its own guns' reach. 0:00 The trap behind the hill 0:52 The Americans 1:45 The Guard dug in 2:15 The rule: control the crest 2:55 Over the rise 3:33 The fight 6:11 Why it failed 7:10 What if 7:51 The rule in one line Sources: Stephen A.
