Who will run Iraq?
Under current plans the Army will be put in charge of the northern half of the country, the Marines will oversee the south, and the land forces command, headed by Lt. Gen. David D. McKiernan, will supervise Baghdad. The civilian Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance (ORHA) will report to McKiernan
The Marines are prepared to stay for at least 90 days after hostilities end before being replaced by Army or international forces. They do not want to provide security for rebuilding Iraq.

ORHA
About half a dozen key officials have been hand-picked by the Pentagon. The office is based in the Department of Defense, not the State Department or USAID, though the office will have workers from those agencies as well as British civil servants.
The ostensible mission of the office is to humanitarian assistance, work on reconstructing Iraq and prepare for the eventual creation of an interim government by the Iraqis themselves. However, their brief extends to overhauling everything from the country's currency, to power supplies, legal code, police service and schools. ORHA will also manage the contracts for foreign companies to increase oil production. The office has been secretive about how it plans to achieve these goals.

Head – Retired General Jay Garner
General Garner will be in overall control and is likely to be based in Baghdad. After the Gulf War, he oversaw US efforts to aid Kurds. Two years ago, he signed a statement supporting Israel and accusing Palestinians of filling their children with hate. Arab and Muslim leaders say this raises questions about whether he is the right man for the job.
General Garner will have three deputies:
George Ward, former US Marine and Ambassador to Namibia will be in charge of humanitarian assistance.
Lewis Lucke, a veteran of USAID will be in charge of reconstruction and probably oil contracts
Michael Mobbs, a Reagan-era arms negotiator and Pentagon legal adviser will be in charge of civil adminstration

OHRA will divide the country into three areas, with administrative centers in Mosul, Baghdad and Basra.
North – Retired General Bruce Moore will have control of the oil fields around Mosul and Kirkuk.
Center – Barbara Bodine, the former US Ambassador to Yemen. She is a State Department Arabist.
South – retired General Roger “Buck” Walters and Texas businessman was hand-picked by the Pentagon. He will have control of the southern oil fields.

Each administration will have a staff of about 12 supplemented by Iraqi exiles who have been living in the US and UK. OHRA already has close ties to such groups as the Iraqi National Congress, though the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (Sciri), the main Shia group, has refused to work with the office because the see the office as a government of occupation.

April 10 – Thursday
Troops from the 5th Marine Regiment responded to a tip about 3 a.m. that Saddam Hussein and his younger son, Qusay, were alive and hiding out in a house near the center of Baghdad about 200 men attacked the Marines from the Imam Mosque in northern Baghdad. Dozens of attackers were killed and about eight were taken prisoner and were being interrogated. Marine officers said they appeared to be Syrian or Jordanian. One Marine died and 22 others were injured.
Elements seem to be moving in to fill the power vacuum. In Kut, military intelligence has detected as many as 2,000 Iraqi and guerrilla volunteers from other Arab countries regrouping. Farther east, officers said, they are becoming increasingly concerned about Iranian-backed Shiite groups along the Highway 7 corridor, where there are fewer U.S. forces.
U.S. intelligence community and the Pentagon have circulated to senior US commanders a classified list of the top 50 most-wanted Iraqi leaders.
Looters continued to run free in Basra, though Sheik Muzahim Mustafa Kanan Tameemi was appointed by the British military to begin restoring some government to the city.
