Many people doubted the war plans for this war when they saw the small number of troops which was used to launch the invasion. The thing that they didn't realize is that technology had taken a quantum leap since Desert Storm and the large numbers of troops needed to conduct a successful military invasion then were not necessary now. During this conflict smart bombs were just about the only ordinance used whereas during Operation Desert Storm only about ten per cent of the ordinace dropped were smartbombs.

The thing that the planners didn't account for is what would happen in Iraq in the absence of leadership in Iraq after the war was won. This caued total chaos during the aftermath of the war. The military found itself having to act as a type of police force after the war which is a role that they were not accustomed to. They were able to adapt and overcome and train the Iraqi Military to take control of their own country.
