According to the DebkaFile website:

DEBKAfile's military sources: US special forces have crossed the Kuwait-Iraq frontier and occupied some of the southern oil fields. US-British special forces have moved in to western Iraq. US warplanes are up to 600 sorties a day.

Earlier, Iraqi combat forces pulled out of West Iraq and Kuwait border region in South Iraq to join build-up in central Iraq around Baghdad and Tikrit.

Elite Special Republican Forces fighting division Tewekalna (Trust in Allah) brought over from southern oil fields.
