AirLand battle
The point of AirLand doctrine is to stop second-echelon forces from reinforcing the enemy by attacking these forces at choke points.
The Land Components fight the first echelon enemies and the air units attack behind the lines.
Natural choke points would be bridges and tunnels.
The enemy is attacked at chokepoints because its location is otherwise unpredictable due to his maneuvers.
A question is whether the road to Basra was an artificial choke point.
