Abstract :
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense decided that there would be no escape for the terrorist gang members
from the death which it proceeded to it with a false doctrine until it is eradicated from Iraq which can
never be an incubator of terrorism, accordingly and with the capabilities available to the ministry,
the ministry has developed two strategies: The first is allocating ten regiments from the Iraqi Special
Operations Forces (ISOF) to maximize the performance of the Iraqi armed forces (IAF) in defending
the homeland and maintaining its security and stability from terrorist gangs in four border regions
in Iraq. The second is to reduce the arrival time of the ISOF to the battleeld by determining the
optimal possible paths using an effcient scientic approach which is the dynamic programming (DP).
The results of this study after solving a real-life problem proved that the proposed approach is an
effective mathematical approach for taking a series of related decisions by nding maximization level
of performance of ISOF and the shortest time for them to reach the battleeld.
