The US 3rd Infantry Division must smash through the dangerous Karbala Gap to reach the outskirts of Baghdad. If the Iraqi Army and Republican Guard can bring their conventional forces and potential chemical weapons to bear during 3ID's dangerous passage through the gap, they will be in for a very tough fight. 75th Ranger Regiment assaults and holds the Haditha Dam.
